@GeePawHill I think we should stop ascribing human attributes to companies. The corporation didn’t lie/cheat/steal. People did and we shouldn’t let them hide behind a legal entity because _that_ is what corporation’s real purpose—to abstract responsibility from the few rookie in power

What I love about this story is:
- the immediate & categorical response: 2 tail strikes within 6mins = shutdown all Alaska Air flights
- no bureaucratic process: One individual made the decision
- “That looks about right” gut check of automated data
- software sucks but it sucks worse when lives are at stake
- this sort of incident response is a credit to the aviation field and should be a model for all
