Boeing have admitted the existence of yet another critical safety problem on their Dreamliner line, which would prevent the crew from properly controlling an engine fire. The FAA hasn't forced them to be grounded. What a disgrace.

Wow, we used to lead the world. Maybe we still do in cutting corners for profit.

Boeing is doing a great job for Airbus.

Read "Airframe" by Micheal Crichton. Although fictional, it has a lot of interesting info on the airline industry.

Yeah, I read that a while back, and found it to be quite enlightening.

Good book. Did you know he was 6’ 9” and had 2 degrees from Harvard? I think he also wrote a book about lizards or something.

Crazy right? Found out that he was a doctor when I read A Case of Need (or something like that) but I've not read the lizard books!

No need. Somebody told me they might of made a movie out of them.
