Holy shit, I completely forgot about that. Yes they definitely did.
Also, Trump raped a 13-year-old girl. (WARNING VERY NSFL)

Airbus or drive.

Flying in a Boeing aircraft is probably still safer than driving. But yes, flying in an Airbus and avoiding big dense airspace like NYC / DC is probably significantly safer. I've started deliberately trying to do both as of now.

Of course it is. Less likely to be hit by aircraft parts.

uhh. what.
I don't claim to be an expert in aircraft manufacturing...but just as a layman, this "compromise" seems like it might actually be worse than just letting Boeing inspect everything itself?
doing this week-on/week-off shit, like they're divorced parents trying to make sure little Jimmy gets to soccer practice, seems like it creates huge opportunities for problems to fall through the cracks.
if you're one of the workers doing these safety-critical inspections, you shouldn't have to change your process based on whether it's an odd week or an even week. that's absurd.
I think that is clearly the deliberate goal
