The world’s most popular airliner is in trouble again. After Alaska Flight 1282 on Jan 5th lost a “permanently” secured exit hatch on climb out, a number of airlines are grounding the type again due to safety concerns

Thankfully this time the flight was still in its initial climb-out, low enough to avoid explosive decompression, with all passengers seated and belted in. Boeing must be thanking their lucky stars this didn’t happen at 38,000 ft.
The continuing quality control issues at Boeing must be making the execs at Airbus more than a little happy right now.
And here was me thinking it was just self-defeating, not to mention a complete waste of my valuable time. Because “progressive” and “logic” are mutually exclusive 🤔
