If I was an AA customer, I wouldn't be very happy with that mitigation!

Private flights however have a poor record, they are the second worst, so if your going to fly, do it on a commercial flight.

Because drivers STILL don’t look for motorcyclists….

Loose bolts on new planes, really bad.

I suspect that's lost in translation from "None of the 171 passengers and six crew members was seriously injured.". A 178 seat plane would have 4 cabin crew members plus 2 pilots.

But it was extraordinarily lucky to have an empty seat by the panel that blew if 171 out of 178 seats were occupied.

Several passengers injured on Alaska Airlines flight that blew out midair over Oregon, company says

This matches with the Airline’s website

Quote:

Several guests onboard experienced injuries that required medical attention. All guests have now been medically cleared.

This is why (after reading about a similar occurrence a number of years ago, Aloha Airlines Flight 243) I always have my seatbelt on when sitting in my plane seat…

However some good scientific research

Apple has become the first smartphone manufacturer to pass the three-mile drop test.

Re: Boeing 737 Planes Grounded

Interesting question: when booking a flight, if the plane is a 737 Max, would you still go on that flight?

Re: Boeing 737 Planes Grounded

I dont think you can atm, arent they still grounded ?

(The affected models, which seems to be a subset).

When they are cleared to fly again, which will happen, would you fly on one?

Yet another reason not to fly ryanair - as if you needed one.

Its not like you get given a choice, but yes, since they have all been closely inspected, why not.

[ I dont think any in the UK are the affected model anyway ? ]
