Re: Not Lazy at all
"minor incidents that wouldn't normally get reported, now make the news."
This is not minor. A detached anything in midair, that can strike a vital control system must be treated as critical. That's the NTSB methodology that has produced the level of safety that we have today.
" link two stories that aren't really linked"
And you know this because the investigation has completed and determined that it was NOT caused in wole or in part by
- An incorrect maintenance episode
- inadequate training
- inadequate supervision
- misleading the FAA about the training
- Not documenting the misleading training
- Not co-operating with the NTSB
"If I remember correctly it was 2 weeks after the door plug incident that the press were breathlessly reporting on the front wheel falling off a Boeing 777"
And now we come to the turn down the rabit hole.
Yes Indeed let's shift the discussion to an ENTIRELY unlreated news report. That's a lovely shorthand for lazy thinking.
Let's further rail against "The media" and get away from discussing this specific new report.
That's a lazy generalization that serves no purpose.
And a 30 year old aircraft is maintained to the same level as every other Aircraft of similiar type.
Citing age as a reason to dismiss the story is lazy.
You might want to have a glance at that bias mirror yourself.
