NTSB issues ‘urgent’ safety warning for some Boeing 737s, including MAX, in latest blow to struggling planemaker

The National Transportation Safety Board is issuing “urgent safety recommendations” for some Boeing 737s—including the embattled 737 MAX line— warning that critical flight controls could jam.
The independent investigative agency is issuing the warning that an actuator attached to the rudder on some 737 NG and 737 MAX airplanes could fail. The move comes after the NTSB investigated a February incident where the pilots of a United Airlines MAX 8 landing in Newark reported their rudder pedals “stuck” in the neutral position.
The warning is the latest black eye for Boeing. The company has seen a string of ugly headlines this year, from a mid-air blowout of a door plug in January to a strike by 33,000 workers that started just this month.

Boeing is f@c&3d at this point. Can’t fly a plane and can’t fly a spacecraft. If I had any of their stock I would sell it before they go bankrupt.

Max 8 is still on my personal ‘no fly’ list.

Plus the workers on strike are the ones that built all the crappy products so maybe they should fire them all and start over.

DEI can’t keep airplanes in the air.

The need to split the military and the commercial sides into separate companies. Feds will never let the military side die. Although they’ll probably do a Lockheed and prop up the whole thing at taxpayer expense.
They do need to fire everyone with an MBA.

#5: "DEI can’t keep airplanes in the air."
Yep, that's it in a nutshell.

This is not exactly a new problem
It’s been a known issue with the 737 fleet for decades
I think the real story here is the loss of institutional knowledge in our aviation maintenance
We are going through a generational change in our AP workforce and it seems things are getting lost in the transition

Finally something that Boeing would actually be responsible for. So many of these stories play on ignorance to stir up people. Now we are getting back to software/Hardware which is what caused those max planes to crash.
