Do you want to fly in an airplane where they prioritized DEI hiring over your safety? That is actually happening. https://t.co/FcTyzZD0uW

Alaska Airlines and United Airlines said on Monday that they have found loose parts on their 737 Max 9 aircraft since they started inspecting some of their grounded Boeing jets, bringing additional scrutiny to the component called a door plug that blew off a Max 9 aircraft last week.
About 170 planes were removed from service after the incident involving an Alaska Airlines jet that had just taken off from Portland, Ore., on Friday night. United and Alaska are the two major U.S. carriers that fly Boeing jets with this particular configuration of door plugs.
Alaska Airlines said Monday evening it is waiting for the formal inspection process on the jets to begin. But as maintenance crews began preparing the plans for inspection, they found “some loose hardware was visible on some aircraft.”
There’s a QC person with a puckered pooter somewhere at Boeing right now.

Torque wrench?
We dont need no stinking torque wrenches.
On July 29th a previously uneventful United Airlines Boeing 767-300ER flight from the Newark Liberty International Airport to the George Bush Intercontinental Airport turned crazy as the plane made a hard landing.
As the plane landed it appeared to bounce, and the pilot reacted by pulling aft on the control yoke, in an effort to keep the nose wheel from impacting the runway a second time. Subsequently, the speed brakes deployed, and the auto brakes engaged which resulted in a second bounce of the nose wheel.”
These bounces reportedly caused significant damage to the airplane.
The pilot was a DEI hire who’d “failed multiple trainings” but been hired anyway.
In early 2021, United Airlines publicly vowed to up its so-called “diversity” by ensuring at least 50 percent of future hires were women or non-white minorities.
“Our flight deck should reflect the diverse group of people onboard our planes every day. That’s why we plan for 50% of the 5,000 pilots we train in the next decade to be women or people of color,” the airline tweeted at the time.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) later ruled that the incident was the result of pilot error.
“The [NTSB] said in a final report that the crew failed to manage the plane’s vertical path, airspeed, and nose direction.
Another toxic white male, he had to go to help them improve the curve. /sarasm off.
