A United Airlines flight that took off from San Francisco International Airport Friday morning landed in Oregon with a missing external panel, according to officials.
United says the missing panel wasn’t discovered until the plane landed safely in Medford and that pilots had no idea during the flight that something had happened.
Let me guess, Boeing plane.
Seems like more maintenance issue than Boeing’s fault. Boeing make unsafe planes and then United don’t maintain them, so who’s to blame?
It is maintenance issue 100%. These are not new planes. There are literally thousands of them flying every day, non-stop and are doing just fine. But it’s trendy to shit on Boeing these days and I think they deserve it. They dropped the ball on 737 MAX and that cost a lot of people their lives. But not only that, multiple things and they are allowed to self-certify. The more people display their dislike towards this company more likely that self-certification to go away.
