FAA to loosen fuel-tank safety rules, benefiting Boeing’s 787 :
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has quietly decided to loosen stringent fuel-tank safety regulations written after the 1996 fuel-tank explosion that destroyed flight TWA 800 off the coast of New York state.
The FAA proposes to relax the safeguards for preventing sparks inside the fuel tank during a lightning strike, standards the agency now calls “impractical” and Boeing says its soon-to-fly 787 Dreamliner cannot meet.
[…] But the move has stirred intense opposition inside the local FAA office from the technical specialists — most of them former Boeing engineers — responsible for certifying new airplane designs.
Good. Now, if a 787 blows up in a lightning strike, we know exactly who to sue.
You humans are doomed anyway, so relax and enjoy the flight! This is a quicker way to go than choking on your fumes or drowning in rising seas! After your species is gone there will be nothing left but trillions of rabbits placidly grazing on endless miles of lush green prairie grass!
Or how about Richard Branson:
“If people in Seattle build airplanes and deliver them on time, and to be perfectly frank, don’t go on strike, we’ll continue to work with Boeing,” he said, adding that otherwise orders will go to rivals including Airbus SAS and Brazil’s Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica SA.
Even the P-I blog article laid blame to the strike for the large number of layoffs coming.
uhgg, why is it that PuffyAss is so hard to understand; maybe it’s because I am not local to Seattle. But PuffyAss, What is your point? Is it that the economy is not to blame for the layoffs? What are you trying to debate, other than yourself?
BlackTard@3:
Where have I made that assertion, or as always when you post here the posts are ASS-generated?
If you paid attention, one of the blogmeisters posted the P-I blog, not me fool!!!
Great news for boeing…
Their political contributions to obama and the democrats are paying off already.
@3 PuffyAss’s point is that Boeing workers are supposed to shut up about workplace safety violations and not getting their breaks, do whatever their psycho supervisors says, and accept whatever management feels like paying them. PuffyAss voted for the party that hates unions and supports a $2.18 an hour minimum wage!
@4 Hey puffer, why do you hate workers? Don’t you know that America was built by workers, you anti-American freak?
@4 – You lost me, instead of explaining your point all you did is utter more shit.

Answer: Newspaper blog posted by the blogmeister.
Blacktard@8 farted:
I see simple things like newspaper articles and newspaper blogs confound you. Figger it out dude.
The point is self-evident. Too bad your personal issues are self-evident too.
Pelletizer@6&7:
And I’m not a worker fool? Probably some of the bits you see appearing in Seattle could be from part of a I network I helped implement long ago moron.
Those are your stupid points projected at me. Where did I infer or say that? I posted what Branson said.

Don’t worry I won’t wait for proof cuz there is none.
Ever been on Virgin Pelletizer? No, cuz you don’t get out much. Rated top notch and innovative, unlike the diarrhea postings you place here. Pricey but a very interesting airline. Will fly it with my wife on our next vacation so she can experience it.
@all PuffyAss Posts – Did you graduate High School? Based on your writings, it appears questionable. You are One Child Left Behind, thanks to Bush.
Good grief, very troubling.
I’m reminded of how well the Bush admin’s deregulation of coal mining has worked through the 00s.
BlackTard@11: Is that the best attack in your arsenal? Is that the you have to offer?
What Goldy isn’t telling you:
– The FAA is an agency of the United States Department of Transportation.
– The United States Department of Transportation is administered by the United States Secretary of Transportation.
– The Secretary is a member of the President’s Cabinet.
– Ray LaHood is the current Secretary of Transportation.
– Obama nominated LaHood.
No, not trying to attack, just pointing out the facts. And since you can’t answer the question, it leaves me to believe that possibly you are trying to avoid the question, and maybe that you didn’t graduate. Maybe that you actually rode the little yellow bus to school. Why do you think every post hast to be an attack, you fool. And to think that The Piper supports you. Tell us about your education. I’m sure the troll would love to know too.
@14 Cont.
Therefore, Obama is loosening fuel-tank safety rules.
@16 And maybe the screws in your head.
I wonder if Branson took it upon himself to instruct Boeing and the union how to conduct their business before, during or after he was photographed groping one of his female employees.
Whatever bus Puddy rode on, he’s still schooling you.
Obviously you missed the bus.
If he is schooling me, then I don’t stand a chance. You must be on the same little yellow bus as him.
Kudos for finally getting it.
Look Puffybutt a race traitor and serious Oreo is hurling racial slurs at a fellow black man. AGAIN we see the self-loathing that is the bitch we call Puffybutt!
“If management at Boeing follow worker safety regulations and pay workers what they are worth, and to be perfectly frank, deal in good faith with their workers, we will continue to work with Boeing. After all, our business making a profit depends on people being able to afford to travel.” FTFH.
Branson’s comment was a blatant media plant by Boeing brass.
Konservatard AssKlowns and Limbaughtomaniacs are directed to faithfully repeat that nonsense until Wall Street analysts and shareholders stop noticing how badly the current management team has fucked the goose. Every single engineer, and every single other airline knows that the deliveries are late because Boeing management was overly optimistic with the production schedule of a totally new airplane concept and grossly mismanaged the outsourcing contracts. Branson blows Boeing Management cigar smoke.
#24: And…
How do you know this?
Sources?
Didn’t Branson make this comment accepting a 777 300ER? Didn’t that plane debut for Singapore Airlines December 5, 2006? So it was redesigned again?
I realize you have a new disease LDS.
Just axking ROT.
bentoversuckinghisfarts@22:
We have no proof #20 is black. It could be the 25th sock puppet of leadless douchy for all we know. Why not invite him to the Port Orchard Bowling Alley alley (your haunt for coprophagia) and check out his zipper contents for “blackness”?
If you read the article carefully you will notice the requirements for the 787 were over and above ANY plane currently flying and no airplane has been able to meet that standard yet.
Agreed.
Agreed!
