People aren’t podcasting about planes falling apart bro. It’s a failure on united and Boeings part
More reasons to be afraid of flying
Add to that 2 pilots in indonesia fell asleep during cruise and went off course
this will be addressed once the Secretary of Transportation comes back from Maternity Leave
All US airlines suck . Those creeps Cheney & Bush gave them do whatever after they blew up the Towers .
America is officially a 3rd world country
Sabotage.
Wonder if someone is mad at United Airlines….seems strange so many issues with the same airline.
Not surprised, as the CEO said his priority is diversity. This is an industry that cannot make mistakes. Diversity should be a secondary priority. Competent people should be the top priority for airlines.
United is coming untied.
United’s CEO is cheating its employees!!!! He’s cheap !!! And doesn’t want to pay employees what there worth !!!!!!
It’s a plane and a man made machine. Things will happen. Thousands and thousands of flights a day and all we hear about is a blown tire? Pretty damn good. Hundreds of cars break down on our commutes to work everyday. It only makes sense some planes break down and have issues too.
Not good!
Are they not paying their maintenance folk?
Premonition of a plane crash
United had a 4th incident but that one involves an Airbus, breaking the Boeing streak
DEI in action.
😢please
CEO, pay attention to what’s happening with your planes. Maintenance people please do a thorough job.
Thank god for phone camera
Hire better people
The newer aircraft are more cheaply made…
We've had smartphones and social media for well over a decade though…
United wanted diversity hire over skills. People will die because of this.
Cheap ass united!
@Cali Planes 😊
Shit happens. Just gotta make sure maintenence crew does a better job inspecting the aircrafts
Boeing should seriously check its engineering team 🫨
I wouldnt be gettin on any planes, at least this year.
I have a feeling that people are indirectly spreading misinformation about aviation and I am not judging them because it's easy to get confused if you don't know that much about aviation and what is happening around it. So I decided to clear some things up.
here is a list of all United accidents these days:
– wheel falls of B777
– B737 gets stuck in grass while taxiing
– A320 hydraulic issues
– B737 engine fire
First of all I would like to leave the 'B737 getting stuck in the grass accident' away because it's a pilot error and it wasn't that dangerous.
Right now we end up with 3 situations…
– wheel falls of B777
– A320 hydraulic issues
– B737 engine fire
We see that a Boeing is involved in 2 out of the 3 accidents.
One of the Boeing accidents was the wheel falling of the B777. This has nothing to do with the Boeing build quality because those wheels get changed on a regular basis. So it was A the fault of the ground crew or B bad luck and a material failure.
The other Boeing accident was an engine fire featuring the B737. Engine fires/stalls/failures are things that will someday and somewhere happen on an airplane. There can be a plenty of reasons like a bird strike, some garbage getting sucked in and so on. Most of these accidents are handled perfectly fine.
Then we have one Airbus accident left. The A320 had an hydraulic issue so the pilots got a message on the ECAM (monitoring system of the aircraft). The pilots decided to divert which is a right decision. In the end no one was injured.
The conclusion:
None of these accidents is really related to each other. The only thing uniting them is that those were United's planes.
Airplanes can "breakdown" and get some issues just like cars but because they don't happen that often the news really likes to make a sensation of it. Just keep in mind that there are around 10k planes in the sky at any time and if you check Flightradar24 then you will be able to spot an "accident" or more like a Squawk 7700 everyday.
As someone who knows something about aviation I can tell you that there are a bunch of accidents and emergencies each day. From a bird strike to a medical emergency, from an hydraulic issue to a wheel exploding on landing.
But most of them don't even reach the news,
If you want a more dry and reliable source then pls feel free to visit simpleflying or other aviation websites which will give you a more clear picture of what is happening.
If I made a mistake or forgot to mention something then pls comment. 👍
Let's make that title more honest: "Several incidents involving BOEING planes take place in one week."
Seriously, can we stop the illusion that these things are phones?! They’re portable personal pocket computers!
If were hear more about it because of social media reporting, then what about the last 10years worth of social media reporting?!🤔
All United planes in the same week… sloppy maintenance crew work
Good luck, we're all counting on you…Dr. Rumack…😉👌
I am cancelling my next month’s United flight. This is scary.
i think it's because Americans have been overly obsessed with dogs, they cant help think about them while at work and that causes them to make such mistakes with aircraft maintenance systems going horribly wrong
MURPHY'S LAW
Of course these corporations take these incidents seriously, their stock price depends on it.
US airlines aren't really concerned about safety and maintenance. The NTSB and FAA are useless.
This is what happens when United focuses on DEI hiring instead of safety.
I am flying Divided airlines in July,…….and I am already terrified.
DEI
I'm just glad they took a stand for diversity and inclusion. Totally has nothing to do with this!
Poor maintenance by airline to cut corners and boost profits. Alaska airlines had issues with that aircraft having issues maintaining cabin pressure. Their fix, no over water flights, domestic only. Aircraft should have been grounded for repairs
Consequences of DEI
As long as they maintain their diversity standards in hiring, that's what matters.
This is what happens when you operate 25 year old planes
Hacking
It seems to involve both of their Airbus and Boeing fleets so I'm guessing United Airlines is the source of the problem. Whatever that problem is, it is quite scary. I would not fly United until they fix the problem.
