@Turbinetraveler One switch failing and slipping to the off position then back ON…maybe a remote chance. But, TWO switches failing at the same time…NO WAY!

Indian investigators are set to visit Seattle for Boeing lab testing tied to the Air India Flight 132 incident involving Boeing 787-8 VT-ANX.
The aircraft, operating London Heathrow–Bengaluru on Feb. 2, 2026, was grounded after pilots reported the left Fuel Control Switch slipped from “RUN” to “CUTOFF.”
Officials want Boeing to prove under controlled testing that the fuel switches cannot move on their own — even under vibration, turbulence, electrical faults, or other extreme conditions.
Boeing is expected to demonstrate that the switch will not move unless physically operated by a human.
The outcome of the tests could play a major role in determining whether the incident was caused by mechanical failure, external factors, or human interaction.

This LIRR strike was only possible because the Trump administration authorized it last fall. Before that, a strike could not happen.
Facts still matter, @POTUS.

Ban stock trading by the President.
Ban stock trading by the Vice President.
Ban stock trading by members of Congress.
End the corruption.

Trump personally bought and sold millions of dollars worth of stock in technology companies and government contractors early this year, and many trades coincided with favorable regulatory decisions. From @samuellarreal_ & @LlanosJackie of @NOTUSreports: notus.org/money/donald-t…

How would you name Boeing's next commercial aircraft?

Americans don’t want this ballroom blitz—they want this Congress to bring down costs.

💥NEW: Maria Bartiromo: "10 presidents before President Trump all said the same thing: 'Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.'"
Ro Khanna: "And one president delivered! And that was Barack Obama!"
Maria Bartiromo: "No, that's not true ... Congressman, you're talking fantasy! Obama did NOTHING about it! ... other than send money to the Iranians!"

Kaitlan Collins: “Do you think undocumented immigrants should have access to federally funded healthcare?”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY): “I believe personally that healthcare is a human right. I believe that every person should be able to go to the doctor.”
Kaitlan Collins: “But if you could choose, do you believe [the law should be changed, allowing illegal aliens to have free healthcare]?”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY): “Pardon?… I believe in a single-payer healthcare system. Where if you go in and need a doctor, you can get the medical attention you need.”

What would you call this Presidential Team?

@PeteButtigieg No nukes for Iran are on Trumps watch also. Ill take it!!!
Trump is the only one with the balls to fix that problem.

You can't lower gas prices by blurting out the names of a few Democrats. The administration needs to stop its crazed policies that cause so much economic pain.
This is happening on Trump's watch because he doubled jet fuel prices by taking our country to war, which drove Spirit out of business. Obviously.

Sean Duffy on Spirit: "To be really clear, yeah, jet fuel prices have gone up. This story was not written because of the Iran war. This story was written because of Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg ... " (Spirit says it was because of fuel prices)

@intheairupthere @BuzzPatterson Hitting a light post is also well below one dot.
That is an unstable approach.
The FPM falls within the criteria. But not for this particular approach imo.
If we move to speed. Stable is until +20, why don't we accept a hard number?
FPM should be +/- XX feet, not only 1000.

Here’s the data on the United 767 that hit the truck and light pole on short final.
The speed looks about right. Maybe a bit slow. The descent rate at that height, however, is insane.
That’s the definition of “unstable approach.”

@GiantnTexas @cturnbull1968 You are correct but Im sure the fuel price didnt help.
English
@cturnbull1968 Surely you’re not this stupid, Spirit has been in trouble for years. They tried to merge with Frontier, & Jet Blue, which a judge shot down. It wasn’t out of control fuel prices. Do your research before posting stupid shit …

Upon boarding her American Airlines flight, this young lady asks if they would make an announcement creating a “buffer zone” around her for her “airborne peanut allergy” according to Grok peanut butter aroma or the aroma of someone eating peanuts around an individual with this affliction he is highly unlikely, likely sources of contamination our areas she is likely to come in contact with, in other words unless someone is milling peanut flour on the aircraft she’s safe😂
Inquiring minds want to know 🤔 why is it when an increasing number of women talk they pinch three fingers together and wave them around while they’re talking ?
I think it’s starting to annoy me😂

@CSUNSHINE Spirit has been losing money for a very long time. They need more than that!
I would prefer Iran NOT having nukes!
English
Spirit Airlines only needed $500 million to survive. We’ve already spent $25 billion on the Iran War. Which one directly improves American lives more? A low-cost carrier staying in the market or another war in the Middle East?
English
Spiking fuel prices from Trump’s war was the nail in the coffin for twice-bankrupted Spirit airline.
FWIW, JetBlue merger failed because a judge, appointed by Ronald Reagan, said the deal was illegal.
Republicans are desperate to shift blame from higher costs hitting families.

Drivers in Minnesota are paying $4 a gallon today. That's up more than a dollar since the start of the war with Iran. That's costing Minnesotans every mile.
