The plane in question is 25~ years old, and it's on the airlines to do the maintenance checks... this isn't Boeing's fault lol - unless this was a brand-spanking new plane. Also, this type of stuff happens daily, on all plane manufacturers.
Straight smear campaign running right now.
anti-ATC/FAA/Boeing, realestate astroturfers closing airports for LL fuel purity - it’s a real wonder who they think will be flying their plane in 10 years to see mom. Pilots must just come from a box or something. 10,000 new safety inspectors scream the glibertarians…
We won’t have a housing problem though, as long as the terminals are filled with cots.
And in case you are paid for winning arguments, you are worth every penny. /s
