Boeing has fired CEO Dennis Muilenburg

[oz_mark]

Yesterday I was listening to Geoffrey Thomas, editor of airlineratings.com. He reminded us that the original crashes were due to poor pilot training. Remember that first pilot had failed in the simulator three times but still got his ticket? The wheel that spins forward or backwards just had to be switched off. So now systems have to be adjusted so that poorly trained pilots won’t have a problem. All those competent pilots were fine. Training standards of those two airlines were at fault rather than a Boeing. Evidently media and public outrage against Boeing in the USA has brought about this resignation.

Whatever anyone thinks of LionAir and its standards, it does not excuse Boeing.

Damn wish they'd sack me.

Excellent verb, sack, unlike the headline's.
