Really rooting for them on that corner-cutting endeavor. What's the worst that could happen?

Some Boeing workers could be real American heroes right about now.

In Japan, heart surgeon. Number one. Steady hand. One day, yakuza boss need new heart. I do operation. But, mistake! Yakuza boss die. Yakuza very mad. I hide in fishing boat, come to America. No English, no food, no money. Darryl give me job. Now I have house, American car, and new woman. Darryl save life. My big secret: I kill yakuza boss on purpose. I good surgeon. The best!

Is this from VTMB? It seems vaguely familiar.

Quality Assurance is really over rated. DOGE should cut those fuck faces first for freedom fighters sake.

[–] sndmn@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 days ago

Boeing, QA.... lol

A real team effort if the air traffic controllers join the effort too

By royal decree, the children of maintenance workers are to travel in the rear of the aircraft. /s

I'm reminded of that one time the entire Polish government was killed in a plane crash in Smolensk.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 56 points 2 days ago

The worst thing that could happen would be nothing going wrong.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 days ago

Well, the BEST that could happen would be for it to crash into the side of a mountain while both of them are on it. Bonus points if Vance, Johnson, and Stephen Miller are on it too.

They should just screw the schedule and get on the plane right now

I hear duct tape is good for holding wings on, in a pinch.

[–] KickMeElmo@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You joke, but you have no idea how much speed tape gets used on the average plane...

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah, is that how they go so fast?

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Nah, that's the red paint all over their insides.
