☆ Boeing’s Problems Started Long Before the Alaska Airlines Mishap - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2024-01-23 | by ( Bill Saporito | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
That company’s already turbulent reputation suffered another jolt this month when a door plug — a fake door that replaces a real one in some airline configurations — on an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9 blew out at about 16,000 feet. Investigations have commenced into the 737 Max 9, a fairly new jet freighted with Boeing’s penchant for producing flawed aircraft. With flights already full, the system can ill afford the grounding of 171 737 Max 9s. Aerospace was the West Coast’s original geek technology: Hughes Aircraft, Douglas Aircraft, Northrup, North American, Lockheed and others in California, and in Seattle, Boeing. Hughes, Douglas and North American would disappear in acquisitions and mergers.

☆ A JetBlue/Spirit Merger Will Make Air Travel (Even) More Miserable - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-06-04 | by ( Bill Saporito | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
But now JetBlue wants to be a major player, too. It formed the Northeast Alliance with American Airlines in 2021 and, a year later, announced its planned acquisition of ultra low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines. Last month, a federal judge ordered JetBlue and American to disentangle the Northeast Alliance. While most goods and services improve over decades, air travel has defied progress — with the very important exception of safety. Today, the four major carriers control most of these precious slots in major airports and aren’t keen to surrender them.
