Boeing Lists Job Opening For 'Guy Who Knows How To Keep Wings On Plane'

ARLINGTON, VA — Following the latest in a growing number of incidents involving its aircraft spontaneously falling apart in mid-flight, Boeing posted a concerning job opening for a position titled "Guy Who Knows How to Keep Wings on Plane."

Insiders confirmed reports that the aerospace corporation had finally decided to do something about parts of its airplanes falling off and endangering the lives of passengers, electing to create a new position specifically for someone who holds specialized knowledge about keeping the wings attached to the airplanes.

"Ideally, a successful applicant would know how to keep both wings on the plane," said one source inside Boeing. "One is pretty good though. It would be a step in the right direction."

Then by all means, you go right ahead and fly on the airline that uses illegal alien day workers as maintenance crew.
I can tell you it doesn't work that way.

These issues are caused by requiring fast turn arounds to push for more flight hours per maintenance hour.

Then again maybe I know more about running your website than you do.

I was unaware that you run an airline. I defer to your expertise.

Also I was being facetious about the illegal alien day workers. I forgot this is the internet and obvious sarcasm is treated as gospel.

I work very closely with aircraft maintenance, including being privy what goes on in the commercial aviation world. Several that work for me use to work for airline maintenance at the major carriers.

This is why I always made the argument why the TSA is needed vs letting the market decide if an airline was safe. They just want things to keep moving no matter what.

This is an executive created problem.

Do you never need to travel somewhere? I'm heading to Norway for five days of work in a few months. Should I take three weeks to get there and back? Oh, wait, the week before that I need to be in San Antonio for a week. Like the gun free America you dream of, its just not feasible.
There’s really no need to travel to Norway. Everything can be done virtually.

Ever taught folks to load weapons onto aircraft? Been doing it for 30 years now, and no, you cannot do it virtually.
I hope to get there someday to visit family that stayed behind when my ggparents came to America.

Boeing Latest: Errors could cost billions; John Barnett, who questioned plane quality, is found dead​

A former Boeing manager who raised safety questions about the aircraft maker has been found dead outside a hotel in South Carolina, according to local authorities.

The body of John Barnett, 62, was found Saturday in a car outside a Holiday Inn, suffering from what the Charleston County Coroner’s Office said appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The Louisiana resident was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sounds like Arkancide to me.
