I’m 51 this week. My dream as a 8’ish year old (early 80’s) was to fly a 747 for Eastern Airlines. Of course Eastern was US only and didn’t fly internationally. But I became nearsighted and my parents told me I could never become a pilot. I believed them. 😭. I love commercial airplanes all my life… and it saddens me what has happened to Boeing through the years. I’m a poor plebe, but I do own a share… of Airbus. 🤨
Ah this is only a documentary film. I didn’t watch the episode, but it looks like he was referencing the book Flying Blind: The 737 MAX Tragedy and the Fall of Boeing. Which looks like a great read on the topic actually!
