That shattered collar bone and dislocated shoulder probably absorbed a lot of energy.
please let me know if that's the CFO of delta
Just cuz......you know.....we all have dreams
Guess he needs to step up his jokes a bit then.BOOOOOO, BAD INSIDER AIRPLANE JOKE
Tradition?
Left FOD all over the damn place.
Darwinism is real!
I was wondering about that myself. Hopefully, they had the panels looked over before departing.

Boeing's MCAS may not have been needed on the 737 Max at all
The haunting postscript to the 737 Max’s infamous flight control system.

The thing about transport category swept wing aircraft is their stall characteristics are real funny, like most straight-wing private aircraft have fairly pronounced stall indications and the lift curve changes direction rather abruptly at the stall point. These big transport category aircraft have a very "flattened" curve and it's very hard for pilots to know exactly where they are, as in if it's slightly before stall, slightly after stall, at stall, etc. This characteristic was screwing things up pretty bad for years as fighter-jocks ran airline training departments and instituted all kinds of fighter-jock maneuvers that don't work on airliners. Pilots weren't reacting before they had an issue, and when they had an issue, they were reacting incorrectly. The FAA had to significantly revamp airline training and mandate advanced upset/high angle-of-attack/unusual attitude training for all part 121 airlines (most airlines that use jets and some that use prop airplanes). The funny thing is that basically what they had to do was go back to what is taught at those very basic levels, but the more subtle nature of these big aircraft was leaving people thinking they could "power out of" stuff and that any loss of altitude during such a recovery was "bad". You are simply going to lose altitude to recover from something like this, but it got so bad they started failing pilots during their checks for losing any altitude, so then they wouldn't want to push the nose over like they should...Boeing's MCAS may not have been needed on the 737 Max at all

So I'm not sure if this article is really portraying stall tendencies in a realistic light. They get much more subtle at the high angles of attack in these kind of aircraft until things go wildly wrong and the aircraft starts dropping wings to 90 degrees of bank or more.

Supposedly, This dude is in one of the RV groups I am in on Facebook and he says a rep from the airlines was at his place within an hour or two and he signed a waiver and the airline rep wrote him a check for a new truck and RV on the spot.
He probably coulda bought 10 new trucks and RVs if he had not signed.
But im trusting Boeing less and less everyday.
I would have held out for the end game personally, probably would have had a sudden pain in my neck as a result as well.
Boeing doesn't have much to do with this. It was a Pratt and Whitney engine that blew up. Airlines got to choose what engine they wanted a lot like choosing an outboard for a pontoon boat.
Same, anything Boeing related results in a pain in the neck.
True, but its also up to boeing mechs to keep it maintained, or whoever they sub-contract, because they do ALOT of that. They are like a revolving door in that aspect.

No
Airlines are responsible for maintaining their own planes. They may however contract maintenance to various suppliers. Engine manufacturers actually sell engines at a loss and make their profits with service contracts.
A lot of times the engines are purchased directly by the airlines to be installed on their planes. You don't want a middle man taking a cut on a $25,000,000 part.

I am also not too familiar with the commercial side of aviation, just DoD, and Boeing is dookie. We are about to absorb their work because they cant keep up with our workflow, even though they more than doubled the amount of time we have per plane.

The other option is RR and they don't exactly have the most stellar rep right now either.
Well it sounds like this isn't exactly a new thing and the FAA may have been looking the other way. Also that plane is 27 years old. I can only imagine how many hours it has on it.
Engine that endangered United flight has troubled history
The same Pratt & Whitney engine suffered similar blowouts twice before, and feds blamed weak inspections.
