The woman could be heard on the phone saying “Oh my goodness, I don’t know how I’m going to do this for the next four hours. This is just impossible ‘cause they’re squishing me. Like, friggin' just unbelievable.” The woman then hung up her phone and began a public rant. One of the people sitting next to her, identified as Mac made a comment to which the woman replied “Well, I eat salad.” It was then that the filmer then stopped the flight attendant asking to find a new seat. Other passengers then began to shame the ranting passenger for her attitude, starting a back-and-forth between several flyers. Before the woman was escorted off. The poster later said that the ranting had lasted 4 minutes. In a statement, United confirmed that the woman was removed and escorted out. This has sent social media into a hail storm, what do you think? Should she have been escorted out? Image Credits: Me
Article: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-01-29/boeing-ba-to-decide-on-spending-15-billion-on-797-jetliner Boeing executives are now deciding whether they should abandon the Boeing 797 program. The aircraft nicknamed the 797 would feature Boeing’s first all-new design since the 787 Dreamliner’s unveiling in 2004, while shoring up its product line against recent Airbus advances. The 797 is designed to perform mid ranged and long ranged routes, while delivering a comfortable journey for passengers. The program has cost about 15 billion dollars, and executives say that there will be a big demand for the jet. “Every single other Boeing jet has been pretty much a guaranteed home run, even if it wasn’t clear at the time,” said aerospace analyst Richard Aboulafia. “This is different. They’ve got to be careful with this.” The case to abandon the project will be read in March by the board. Along with that, Boeing will consider new designs for the aircraft in the event that things go wrong.
