   The 737-Max8 should have never been put back into service. Even at the time I though, "they need to pull the engines and all the parts and design a new, non-shit plane." But the FAA just approved their modification and now we even have Max9s ... with a door that flew off.

     @Vril_Oreilly@comfyboy.club people keeping up with aerospace stuff have been pointing at Boeing's declining quality ever since the McDonnell Douglas merger. Declines tend to be like this, where there's a slow almost unnoticeable decrease in quality, until suddenly enough has declined that you get a spike in simultaneous incidents.
     
     Like, if you've been following Boeing's space division, the decline has been very visible for almost a decade. First with SLS being a waste of money, and then with the neverending fiascos with Starliner, first a test flight that would've killed people if it actually had crew on board, valves that couldn't handle the florida humidity, fire protection tape that turns out to be flammable, non-functional parachutes and so on.
