Boeing and CFM International have the 'splaining to do

I don't think RyanAir is to blame on this one

(they still suck tho)

Teeechnically this was Malta Air with RyanAir paint on it (when Irish tax breaks still aren't good enough).

Who knows about the flight deck or cabin crew. RyanAir has been doing that Norwegian Air thing of piecing together whipsawed labor and AOCs into a flight schedule.

Did they charge extra for using the "improved view" ?

Fresh Air fee

Fresh Air fee

The fee is doubled if you take advantage of it in flight without having pre purchased it.
If you look closely at the report, a bunch of people grabbed the passengers legs to keep them from being pulled out of the airplane, while this was happening the purser fished their credit card out of a pocket and charged the fresh air fee.

Boeing has splaining to do here? Not really seeing why. I guess they could build the airplane as an armored truck, but thats some pretty high energy • when a fan fails. I don't think this is unique in aerospace engineering margins. Even from Toulouse.

Sidebar, as a passenger, I am constantly torn between aisle and window. Window is deeply uncomfortable, as I find myself leaning into the fuselage to avoid contact with my center seat friend (even if they aren't massive, just personal space). But if I'm aisle, I predictably am next to some stupid dumb f*** who puts the shade down from taxi out to landing. Like why are you in the window? So you can control the whole row because you're actually afraid of looking outside? Weak a*** stupid people. Drive a car. Don't clog up the airport with your kind. Your weak genes won't reproduce.

FAA already told them to fix the nacelle (by 2028 I think)

When I saw the thread title, I thought it was about this lawsuit.

United must face lawsuit over windowless window seats, judge rules

A federal judge ruled this week that United Airlines must face a lawsuit brought forward by customers who unknowingly bought windowless window seats.

“A video posted on social media appeared to show an uncontained engine failure on the damaged Boeing 737, with fan blades missing. Such a failure occurs when internal components like fan blades shatter and breach the casing, sending debris flying.”

It is a requirement for design approval for all turbofan engines that they can contain parts during a failure. 14 CFR 33.94
“...it must be demonstrated by engine tests that the engine is capable of containing damage without catching fire and without failure of its mounting attachments when operated for at least 15 seconds, unless the resulting engine damage induces a self shutdown”

It this failure occurred on a test stand, it would not have been certificated. "Containing damage" has been argued over the years of occurrences, but virtually always in the context of parts being pooped out the back, not the side.
