Joshua Dean, a former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems and a whistleblower who alleged Spirit ignored manufacturing defects, has died after a sudden illness.
For commercial aviation, literally just Boeing. And then Europe has Airbus. The aviation industry really is a fantastic example of how capitalism works.
I’m not old enough to remember that. Weren’t tickets much more expensive back then though? I was under impression that both prices and standards fell. Regardless, that’s an airline carrier issue that has little to do with Boeing.

Tendency towards monopoly in action.
Remember how they used to get full course meals in flights? Now we’re packed like sardines and we get a bag of peanuts and a coke.

This is more of a feels comment lol, I just looked into it and yeah tickets used to be about 10x as expensive
So you can still get a really good experience now but yeah it’s going to be 10x more expensive as well lol
On US airlines it’s only half a coke unless you ask for the full can
