Boeing Troubles - One of the world's largest aerospace manufacturers keeps having problems with their planes.

So if I want to travel on a US Airline, which one doesn't have retarded maintenance teams?

Us airlines are all very safe, just don't fly allegiant because it's ran by a murderer who should be in prison instead of operating another airline and don't fly spirit because you'll probably get the shit beaten out of you before the flight lands. Odds are even if your on a 737 max you'll probably be fine, but I personally wont fly on a max or 787 out of build quality concerns. But as per specific airlines all are going to be fine in regards to safety aircraft maintenance and pilot training is pretty well regulated in the US, just don't fly allegiant.

Funny enough Spirit is the only US based airline that flies only Airbus aircraft. Having flown on Spirit numerous times, their customer base leave much to be desired.

Frontier Airlines transitioned away from the Embraer ERJ-190 in June 2014, and now operates exclusively the Airbus A320 family.
JetBlue received its last Embraer ERJ-190 in October 2013. This is baseless speculation on my part, but it seems their Embraers will all be replaced eventually by the Airbus A220, becoming all-Airbus as well.

Unlikely, the e2 series hasn't sold as well as Embraer hoped but sales have been steadily increasing with 300 or so on order. And they are still set to release the smaller 175-e2 in 2028. The a220-100 which is in the same seat class as the 195 and 190s aren't selling as well as the a220-300 they have different markets in my opinion.

I think when the 175 e2 enters production sales will increase with airlines trying to get rid of their older crj900s.

But it hasn't seemed popular in the USA for some reason, not too late for them to turn it around though.

I forgot about Frontier. That makes two US airlines that operate only Airbus aircraft. So are you predicting that airlines who have the gen 1 ERJ 170/190 will be replace them with the A220?

As far as I know embraer is still firmly in its niche and not in any real danger

I just remembered why the E2 isn't selling in the USA and replacing the E1 175. It's the scope clause that prevents regional carriers from flying certain aircraft. Regional jets are limited to something like 34000kg and max 76 passengers while the E2 175 is over that limit.

It's incredible that you'll be flicking your bean worrying about the Jews as you go extinct and a tsunami of third world diarrhea swarms over the Mexican border to finish off whatever is left.

Goodbye.

Hey Herb, why don't you stay focused engineering a plane so easy to build that even your new black diversity hire coworkers won't fuck up the assembly process that is causing panels to come off mid flight

Boeing Starliner capsule's first crewed test flight postponed​

By Joey Roulette and Steve Gorman
May 6, 2024 5:49 PM PDT

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida, May 6 (Reuters) - The long-awaited first crewed test flight of Boeing's (BA.N), opens new tab new Starliner space capsule was called off for at least 24 hours over a technical issue that launch teams were unable to resolve in time for the planned Monday night lift-off.

The CST-200 Starliner's inaugural voyage carrying astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) has been highly anticipated and much-delayed as Boeing scrambles to compete with Elon Musk's SpaceX for a greater share of lucrative NASA business.

It comes two years after the gumdrop-shaped capsule completed its first test flight to the orbital laboratory without humans aboard. The Starliner's first uncrewed flight to the ISS in 2019 ended in failure.

Its latest flight was scrubbed with less two hours left in the countdown as the capsule stood poised for blastoff from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida atop an Atlas V rocket furnished by United Launch Alliance, a Boeing-Lockheed Martin (LMT.N), opens new tab joint venture.

The postponement, attributed to an issue with a valve in the rocket's second stage, was announced during a live NASA webcast. The next available launch window for the mission is Tuesday night, but no decision was immediately made for when a second liftoff attempt would be made.

The two-member crew - NASA astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore, 61, and Sunita "Suni" Williams, 58 - had been strapped into their seats aboard the spacecraft about an hour before launch activities were suspended for the night.

They will be assisted out of the capsule by technicians to await a second launch attempt.
