Boeing has announced that it will resume 787 operations in North Charleston, South Carolina, starting from May 3rd. These activities were previously suspended on April 8th to avoid further spread of the virus to Boeing employees. (simpleflying.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Just circling back to some of the alarmists shouting Boeing's decision would cause mass casualties (that's you Robert Cowling). The death rate in SC since the beginning of the pandemic is about 1.65% with a spike of new cases occurring of January of this year. I am not minimizing the danger of COVID or the importance of taking reasonable precautions, however I am suggesting we should balance those risks with a sensible approach for business. The "wreckage of human lives" as the commenter put it, is not as large as those in some states who have not been able to work due to quarantine requirements. Just felt like we need to keep things in perspective.
Go Boeing. While this is good news for some, the places that are starting to open will show us one of two things. Either we can open up some businesses, or it will backfire. Which will happen, no one knows.
Good lord, I thought this was an airliner forum!
ATTN ALL!! Why doesn't someone at flight aware 'poop-can' his posts so they don't show up here?
I was referring to Carl Godwin's off topic posts.
Aircraft are thoroughly tested and in this case perhaps so should the assembly workers.
