Keep your seatbelts fastened. Snugly.
Another Boeing airplane (777 this time) exhibited a sudden altitude drop during turbulence over SE Asia. One passenger with a heart condition died; seven are in critical condition.
In March, a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner lost elevation on a flight from Oz to NZ. Reportedly an uncovered cockpit switch was involved. Boeing “recommended that airlines inspect the cockpit seats the next time they perform maintenance on their 787s”.”
@kegill Yes, all of that is true. But it doesn't mean we should rush to blame them for problems that aren't their fault.
@LouisIngenthron
The Australia-New Zealand flight appears to be either a design flaw or poor quality build. I could not find current and official update.
We won’t know that this was intentional until there is an official report.
Airbus does not have a record of lousy quality NOR management like old MD executives.
