Comment I think I could sue them (Score 1) 95

This would make for a nice law suit. Imagine sitting in your seat getting ads for dick pills, homosexual content, and other medical related products. Right there United will have outed my medical history and sexual orientation for all my seat mates to see. I fucking hate this dystopian profit at all cost timeline we are stuck in. I fucking hate capitalism.

Except mcas was designed not as an anti-stall mechanism exclusively but rather a software solution to make this abomination of an aircraft fly move like the NG models. The design was so shitty from the start they had to install a new system and keep it quiet from pilots. Further more this is not just a simple trim runaway like pilots have been trained on, MCAS runs the trim a whole lot faster than standard trim inputs, do this during takeoff when there's a lot going on and you can quickly find yourself in an extremely bad situation. It's a shit plane that Boeing rushed to the market in order to compete with the Airbus A320Neo. This pile of shit should have never been drafted on paper much less frankenstined onto a 60+ year old design like those 707's you reference.

I can tell you are an insider, and so am I. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!!!! Now when I login to DLnet no matter the browser its a crap shoot whether or not I will login. I always get security issues left and right. The new website is pretty but what good is it if when I need to list for a flight I have to wait an unknown amount of time before I can actually get in. A horrible decision on their part and I hope they're moving away from microsoft garbage.

Serious question, and this is what keeps me from doing my repairs and why I had my MBA battery replaced at the apple store: How do you know you are getting OEM parts that can live up to new product expectations? I've bought plenty of cell phone batteries over the years only to be burned (pun intended) by very good looking knockoffs.
