If it is Boeing, I am not flying seems to be the byword today for most travelers. Those that have not suffered the scare will always do the dare, no doubt about it. It is their own life to play around with.
Apart from safety issues, Boeing is unable to deliver planes ordered and some airlines have resorted to cancelling orders. When time is the essence of making money, delay of a few years of planes needed today is not acceptable.
There have been reports that counterfeit titanium parts and aluminum alloys have been substituted by an Italian parts manufacturer, which is scary to think of. Boeing is selling planes costing hundreds of millions each and still needs cost cutting measures just boggles the mind. Shareholder's returns are more important than safety of passengers.
Suffice to say, Boeing planes are not all made in the USA, and it still relies on supply chains from around the world. Trump's tariff will add more to the misery of Boeing.

Boeing 787 diverted mid-flight over fuel switch safety check
A Boeing jet bound for India was forced to turn back to get its fuel control switches checked as investigations into the Air India tragedy continue. Etihad Airways flight EY352, travelling from Abu Dhabi to Hyderabad made its return to the UAE capital after an engineering work order came into place on Sunday mid-flight, according to Times of India. The order to inspect the locking mechanism on fuel supply switches came after a report by India's Aircraft Investigation Bureau was published on Saturday.
The smoke prompted oxygen masks to deploy mid-air and even forced pilots to open cockpit windows for fresh air.

United plane forced to land minutes after takeoff over engine failure
A transatlantic United Airlines Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner was forced to return to the airport just moments after taking off after suffering a mid-air engine failure . Flight UA108, carrying 219 passengers and 11 crew members, departed Washington Dulles Airport at 5:40 p.m. on Friday, July 25, bound for Munich in Germany.
But as the jet climbed through 5,000 feet, the left engine failed, prompting the pilots to declare a 'MAYDAY' and alert air traffic controllers. What followed was nearly three hours of tense aerial maneuvering. The crew entered a holding pattern northwest of Dulles, circling at 6,000 feet while dumping fuel to reduce the aircraft's landing weight.
The touchdown was smooth - but with one engine disabled, the Dreamliner was unable to taxi and had to be towed from the runway. All passengers and crew deplaned safely at the gate without injury.
United Airlines pilots declare 'mayday' after engine failure
Chilling audio has been released of the moment the captain of a United Airlines Boeing 787 jet yelled 'mayday' after he lost an engine soon after takeoff. 'Failure, engine failure, left engine, United 108. Declaring an emergency. Mayday- Mayday-Mayday,' one of the pilots of United Flight 108 said calmly to air traffic control after taking off on Friday July 25.
The flight from from Washington Dulles Airport bound for Munich, Germany had only just cleared 5,000 feet of altitude with its tanks full of fuel for the eight-hour flight over the Atlantic, when its left engine suddenly lost power. In audio posted online, what followed was 30 minutes of aerial tension as the pilots were forced to hold in order to dump fuel before landing back at the airport they'd just departed.
Terrified passengers texted worried messages to their loved ones as a Virgin Australia flight from Sydney to Brisbane suddenly plunged 28,000ft within seconds. Flight VA993 suddenly lost cabin pressure at high altitude just 40 minutes after taking off at 8.30pm on Thursday.
The Boeing 737-800 immediately dropped from its 37,000ft cruising altitude down to under 10,000ft, as pilots sounded an emergency call to air traffic control. One passenger on the flight sent an urgent message to her husband when the plane began to lose altitude. Haley told her husband 'plane's dropping' in a text message, according to Network Ten.
