    Engineers at Alaska Airlines wanted and in-depth inspection. Alaska Airlines decided to “take it easy”, but not ground the plane.

    Lemmy: Those Boeing bastards!

      It can be both.

      We shouldn’t forget that Boeing is the commonality here while also addressing the other issues the authorities find.

        Problems this massive often have systemic causes and multiple points of failure.

      Yeah, the Alaska angle is new. I don’t know if I should be happy or sad they are partly culpable.
