Even if in this case it’s not Boeing’s fault, the ill publicity is well deserved for sure
Comment on Investigation launched after Boeing engine cover falls off during takeoff
halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 1 month agoDefinitely maintenance, but the number of Boeing specific issues lately is alarming. Even given the media’s tendency to over report issues like these for headlines.
It’s not like Airbus is a small competitor with a fraction of Boeing’s sales. Airbus makes more planes than Boeing, and has for the last 5 years.

Airbus has failures all the time, you just don’t see them amplified. Brake failure last week on approach to Seattle: you never read about it, you don’t remember it.

Yep. They’re having engine issues lately. But it’s easy clicks for the news to shit on Boeing right now.
