Meanwhile at Heathrow 🌪️✈️ 📹 FlightFocus365

I’m done with Boeing. On my flight here the compartment behind me wouldn’t close. On the flight back my seat was broken. When I raised this the flight attendant was like “well if we bring this up we won’t be able to take off”. Then we had a maintenance issue. “There’s some rare red light on” I overheard most of the maintenance conversation. The plan was to solve it like an old person fixed a computer problem. Unplug it and plug it back in! They did this 3x and then “they got enough voltage into it for the light to turn off.” We’re very late at this point. The fucking front wheel on this plane does not sound right. Anyways, we take off. Flight does not feel right. We go up and then down. Nothing too drastic. Then the flight attendant gets on the phone for a long conversation. Hmm. Then eventually pilot comes on all serious “automation is broken, we can’t get altitude. We have to go back the airport we took off from. Don’t be alarmed by the emergency vehicles. This is normal for when the plane lands ‘heavy’” We circle for a while and possibly dump some fuel into the ocean. Thankfully we landed safely but what a shit show. The seat and the luggage compartment seem like small issues but if they’re not doing maintenance and quality control on this stuff they’re missing big important stuff too. This was a post merger Boeing. 737-800. Tired of this.
