Okay, so here's one from the history books. Oh, guess which airline?

My first thought whe it said AI was artificial intelligence and not air India, and I don't know which would be worse

There's a disturbing pattern of products that claim to use AI, but actually just send queries to a bunch of Indians. In other words, AI is Actually Indians.

AI - An Indian
API - A Person in India
LLM - Low-cost Labor in Mumbai
AGI - A Genius Indian

Pilot error is low on the list now, stock in dual engine failure is high. However no clear idea on how both engines would fail without it being visible (bird strikes rules out) or prevents takeoff altogether (like fule contamination).

Oh so he finally got around to what most people were saying from the beginning.

Putting your chips in Boeing is a dangerous gamble. Bossmanjack would be proud. It could also be a maintenance crew issue (airspeed computer was broken, which could have caused a misread on airspeed and stall, etc.)

Guess who is not becoming an Indian today. Or ever.

EDIT: Preliminary report is out and attached.

About 3,200 Boeing jet and weapon workers have begun a strike after rejecting an contract offer from the company.

I thought Boeing's reason to spread the manufacturing of crucial 787 components to countries friendly with the US was to use that as leverage to sell 787s to those countries' flag carriers because they'd be invested in the 787 down to its production

Yes, ensuring Boeing loyalty forever.

Japan for example went "LMAO thanks for putting a shitload of cash into our domestic aviation industry, we're also buying a lot of Airbus"

Boeing was fucking retarded.

This administration is a clown show. I wonder how large their donation to Trump was?

I guess they did threaten to cut their contract with the US government and would tell others to blacklist us so the government backed out.

Trying to criminally charge the company itself was fairly stupid to be fair. Nobody in the company cares about the company's finances so it wouldn't change anything
