You're viewing a single thread.
Someone with a lot of money probably did something extremely heinous... that, or a PR team just landed the absolute worst coincidence.
I haven't heard anyone irl talking about Boeing recently, and barely even saw anything online a week after the initial death. While it pisses me off to no end, this incident will blow over just as easily for Boeing.
I doubt that as people are scared to fly in Boeing planes.
If you're in the US, you have very few non-Boeing options. Especially if you're trying to pick affordable flights.
Yeah, if anything, I expect people to book whatever flights they were already going to book, and just crack jokes like "I hope I make it!"
Tell me about it. I have multiple work trips scheduledthis coming year all involve flying. Hard to find Airbus.
