Boeing issues again

Apparently there is also a problem with the passengers oxygen supply on the 787 Dreamliner.

Just another case of a manufacturer cutting corners and using inferior materials and parts, has been going on in the motor industry for a number of years

I was on a Dreamliner twice in the last couple of weeks and the food was awful.

In fairness it was equally bad on the Airbus we had for the other legs if the journeys. At one point I wasn't sure if they had given me a 'refreshing hot towel' instead of the vegetable wrap I asked for as it was so chewy.

Not good Quatar Airways.

It's their catering facilities..

Who else is to blame??

The airline decides on the spec of the seating, loos and galley fitment....not Boeing. If the airline has cheapskated on the food prep facilities then blame them.

Nope. Just trying to be informative, so listen in numbnuts....

The spec of the galley that the airline selects will determine the effectiveness of the food storage and delivery. If they cheapskate on that then it doesn't matter if it all came from Fortnum & Masons....it'll be lukewarm and soggy.

Yer feckin' welcome. :devil-flip:

40,000 feet isn't far enough away. How about you try an orbit in the ISS...? Or even better, f*ck off back to your own planet. :abduct:
