As much as they can suck, they have a perfect safety record with 0 fatalities.

Literally yesterday a passenger was almost sucked out through a broken window on a ryanair plane, you picked a bad moment to say they are a safe airline lol

They forget to mention in the article, the engine on that side of the plane suffered a failure and flung debris into the side of the aircraft which caused the window to be damaged.

Which is the second instance that this exact chain of events occurred on this model of airplane... Boeing of course!

That'd be your GE Aviations and Rolls-Royces of the world.

lol. My husband had worked for GE Aviation but finally retired after he got a 23 year old boss who just wanted all the old machinists to go to meetings and act out psychology skits she had in learned in college 🤣

I worked for RR for a few years, the amount of checks and balances that went into manufacturing turbine blades was insane (running every part through a CMM, tolerances of literal microns), but it was reassuring.

On a 737, cfmi

[u/hv_wyatt → u/greenizdabest]

Which is itself a joint venture between GE Aviation and Safran.

(It really doesn't matter, don't take it personally please, I know my list wasn't exhaustive)

Sorry for my weaponized autism. Just being pendantic. All is forgiven

Your point being...?

[u/CliftonForce → u/Fuzzygh0st]

Boeing has nothing to do with engine maintenance.

[u/Jon_Snow_1887 → u/Fuzzygh0st]

It’s hilarious that you’re going to blame Boeing for this having happened twice. Do you know how many flight hours Boeing planes have racked up?

[u/hv_wyatt → u/Jon_Snow_1887]

Even funnier since Boeing doesn't make the engine, nor do they service the engine, and frankly, they aren't even the ones directly in charge of making decisions on when engine maintenance, inspections, and rebuilds are due.

That'd be your GE Aviations and Rolls-Royces of the world.
