Another went down. That company is an supporter of right wing politics and they continue to have safety issues because conservatives don't put safety above profit. People need to learn to stop getting on Boeing aircraft.

@resist1984 much more people die in car accidents. people should stop using cars?
@resist1984 At least mathematically speaking, the rubicon of having any reason to act like there's any meaningful difference between companies has now well been crossed. Enterprise might as well just be viewed as one cohesive body and ship. Once a more cohesive body whole is understood, the underlying cohesiveness of it's politics is better understood and reasons to split things into "left"/"right" divides largely vanishes.

So "(The) Enterprise continues to have safety issues because it doesn't put safety above profit. People need to learn to stop getting on Enterprise aircraft." *fixed*

Such said given the nature of how general air travel works, I'm prone to agree with @iron_bug . It's not like when one books a flight it comes with an option of "which Enterprise plane models do you find acceptable?"
One just kinda shows up at the port, there's a plane there, and when they get on it they are then (generally) informed "this is a blah blah blah model blah blah blah plane".
So from the standpoint of a general person, all that's really being said in a practical doable sense in this post is "The Enterprise exist; NEVER USE IT'S PLANES!"
(which unless one is independently wealthy, basically means don't fly on planes)

@alien23 @iron_bug The Boeing enterprise is very different from the Airbus enterprise. As someone who worked in the aviation industry on both sides of the pond I can say with certainty that the US does calculations the incorporate the price tag they put on life. Europeans don't do that. The EU safety admins I've had to deal with oppose the calculation & if there's a problem or excessive risk, they fix

@iron_bug @alien23 and the stats confirm this. But I also have to say that while most people on the basis of a relatively poor track record on safety, my primary reason for boycotting is the right wing politics culminating into support. is a bad company to support from an ethical standpoint.

@resist1984 The Boeing department of THE ENTERPRISE may be different from the Airbus department of THE ENTERPRISE but have no doubt, both are just divisions of the very same and united ENTERPRISE.

When there's fewer than 10 companies that make up over 50% of the record gains of an S&P 500, that by itself is a QED for "THE ENTERPRISE EXIST" (and it's global).
That's just math.... really ultra basic math.

So no, there's ZERO difference between the Boeing Enterprise and the Airbus Enterprise because they're both the very same Enterprise. There may be some differences in how the departments of The Enterprise conduct themselves, but one might as well just highlight further segmented departments if thats the case and claim, "The Boeing HR department is great, it's that dastardly PR department that's so bad!"

you're more than aware of such modern "Big Brother" and "Goldstein" antics; so just suggesting it to be more interesting and worthwhile to speak to such bizarro truths of current than to just dance and beat around the bush. Most notably when there's overt public maths (and MUCH MORE) all over the public place that point it out. Denying the existence of The Enterprise is arguably just an overplayed public joke at this point =P

You know it, I know it, maybe you're laughing, i'm not laughing, if we're gonna drop jokes lets go ahead and try to both be laughing.

@resist1984
It's not about Boeing or Airbus. Try to avoid planes with fly by wire system.

@Br0m3x Not sure if there are airlines that still use the Piper Cub... 😉
