Both sold with similar self generated, self serving profit at the forefront! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeps Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I’m assuming the escalator is in a departure lounge? Not the sort of image to inspire confidence in your imminent flight, and Turkish Airlines in particular! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first attempt by Boeing to send an uncrewed Starliner to the space station in 2019 failed due to dozens of software and engineering glitches. A second attempt in 2022 succeeded but still had glitches to sort out. Wouldn't be me! 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starliner is not built by BCA - Boeing Commercial Aircraft. It is built by BDS - Boeing Defense, Space and Security. Predecessor companies of which back to Hughes Satellite, Hughes Helicopters, Vertol, McDonnell, Rockwell/North American Aviation etc. They are (almost) completely different companies. The Atlas V is a joint venture between BDS and Lockheed-Martin. Bell Helicopters and Boeing Helicopters jointly build the V22 Osprey. Now I wouldn't ride in that. I'd want to but be very afraid of the 'landing'. Edited May 7 by Ozexpatriate 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The expected culprits, Micky D, BK, Pizza Hut, KFC, all came towards the bottom, but the worst, slightly surprisingly, proved to be Subway. The bread is apparently a roll-shaped heart attack, rammed with sugar, salt, and fats, to be avoided if at all possible. https://www.npr.org/2020/10/01/919189045/for-subway-a-ruling-not-so-sweet-irish-court-says-its-bread-isnt-bread 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
