The latest Jeju Airline crash, another Boeing 737-800 send chills to all air travellers flying Boeing. The 737 series is looking like a death machine. Within the last 10 years, more than 10 deadly crashes involving Boeing 737 aircraft are not simply due to accidents. It is manufacturing defects. More than a thousand lives had been taken by Boeing 737 aircraft. What is there more to say about the safety of Boeing aircraft in general and Boeing 737 in particular? They keep failing in one way or another, with parts falling from the sky and landing gears malfunction.
Boeing has started to blame the Indians and to fire Indian executives and engineers and checks on their works, especially on safety. Indian software codes are full of bugs that posed high risk to the aircraft. The Indians in return blamed Boeing for its poor quality control systems and standards. The blame game can go on for a long time, but this would not solve the safety issues of Boeing aircraft. More passengers are going to die flying Boeing aircraft. Until Boeing gets it right in producing safe aircraft, no one is going to buy Boeing or fly in Boeing aircraft. Walking into and sitting in a Boeing aircraft is becoming a frightening experience and to be avoided at all costs.
Good luck to Boeing's marriage with Indian engineers and executives. Cheap and good? Nearly a century of reputation going down the drain and Boeing heading towards bankruptcy...and more retrenchment if not closing down altogether.
