    Boeing has successfully made me mildly anxious about flight for the first time in my life and it only took a couple of months after a lifetime of thinking of it as incredibly safe. Capitalism is awesome.

        I asked for a couple of doses of Valium when I had an 18h flight (Taiwan). I drank at the airport bar before boarding. I was so out of it when we landed that my partner had to tell me what to do. If there had been an emergency procedure I would have died for sure, but at least I wouldn’t have been panicked about it.

          Thanks for being a fuckwit where your body may have blocked others.

          Same energy as driving drunk

          Downvotes from equally inconsiderate buffoons. Don’t be so altered in public that you are a danger to others.

              Childish. There are many emergencies other than a straight up crash where evacuation is important.

      Nationalized is not better. Then you just have an ever larger pool to externalize the losses against, and a simple political appointment to scapegoat to “fix” the problem.

      Quality commercial fleets like this take so much more to manage than is captured in “just nationalize it” or “fuck capitalism”.
