Sorry, Root Cause Correction Action. A problem solving methodology to thoroughly dig into a problem, find the root cause, and fix it. Thanks Baked Potato!

Unless someone has actual data or first hand knowledge, yelling "DEI" is just a cop out for not wanting to do actual RCCA (in my opinion).

Not sure if this aircraft has been sitting a while but I have an enterprise level account on Flightaware, and it only shows me 2 historical flights (3/29/24 and 4/1/24). Normally I can go back > 6 months on past flights.

Wasn't the MCAS back in like 2018, and they were charged in 2021?

Usually found via x-ray, dye penetrate or eddy current. Also when approving a new supplier or a supplier process change you generally want to perform more rigorous destructive testing (aka "qual" testing), which could have been another gap here. For my suppliers we flow down that they cannot...

That's what I am used to in contracts as well (work in aerospace manufacturing), however many companies still have contract language which gives them a way to recoup costs from the contractor through a process called assertion.

I knew Youtube would place ads no matter what, but a youtuber told me that YT will not do in-stream ads... only beginning and end. I don't know if that's a fact though.

I've pointed out before that he monetizes and my comments all got deleted (on his videos). There are a couple different ways to tell. 1 is, as far as I'm aware, if you get in-stream ads that means it's almost certainly monetized. The other way you can tell is if you see an ad at the top of the...
