For years it is said that in the aviation industry the cliche was "if it's not Boeing, I'm not going." Now it's rumoured the cliche has become "if it's Boeing, I'm not going." Boeing's terrible record of producing safe airliners over the last years again earlier this year, as well as last week was highlighted through mishaps involving 737 Max aircraft including the door plug blowing out of an Alaska Airlines 737 Max in January, a 787 Max Dreamliner which plunged without warning injuring up to 50 passengers last week, also last week a tire falling off a Boeing 757 seconds after takeoff from San Francisco airport and the nose wheel of another Boeing 757 airliner broke away while it was taxiing toward takeoff at Atlanta International Airport in January. Boeing is under FAA investigation.
Last Sunday I flew from Orlando to Toronto on a 737 Max 8 and it was an uneasy experience. What is going on with Boeing?
Guest: Captain Raymond Hall. Former head of the Air Canada Pilots Association and multi-decade Air Canada captain who flew Boeing airliners on major international routes.
