Boeing says Malaysia jet not subject to FAA inspection order
Boeing Co on Wednesday said the missing 777 Malaysia Airlines jetliner was not subject to a new U.S. safety directive that ordered additional inspections for cracking and corrosion on certain 777 planes. The Federal Aviation Administration last week ordered additional, repeated inspections of certain Boeing 777 aircraft, warning that corrosion and cracking could lead to rapid decompression and damage to the structure of the aircraft.

Anyway this was not the only directive that was recommended from memory there was another 2 that could potentially bring down a 777,1 involved the elevator,loss of elevator control,take your pick.....
While i am at it most Airline crashes involve Boeing aircraft.
More airliners are Boeings than any other make.
OZAIR, a Pilot you ain't!
Like ummm, maybe there are MORE Boeings flying than other types and hence a higher % of crashes?
In any case, SERIOUS accidents involving major loss of life is won hands down by AIRBUS, read the stats Mate, and stop posting rubbish! Suspect you are a typical "wannabe" pilot!

Go to FAA website and read the directives yourself,then you decide.
The missing aircraft was a Boeing 777-200 from what i know and from what i read 777-200s had that directive on the FAA website 5 days ago,it doesn't matter that it was only for USA aircraft,they have a duty of care to ensure any potential defect that could cause an airliner to crash unexpectedly and cause mass loss of life to ensure other airlines follow suit to ensure all Boeing 777s no matter what country it fly's under knows and adheres to the directives.
If and I say IF this was a cause of the accident the Boeing and the FAA need their butts kicked and heads should roll.

"Boeing said it worked closely with the FAA to monitor the fleet for potential safety issues and take appropriate actions. But it said the 777-200ER Malaysia Airlines aircraft did not have that antenna installed and was not subject to the FAA order."
