Boeing’s Broken Plane RUINED My Recent Trip…
(00:00.442)
All right, Boeing Tales. boy. Yeah, we’ve we’ve gone after Boeing quite a bit here on the show over the years. And well, revenge of Boeing. So I had a flight of Florida on Monday coming back on Tuesday. So I get to the airport, get on my airplane, Boeing plane.
Again, getting out of Boeing plane. Yeah, it sits in the back of your mind. It does make no bones about it. mean, listen, OK, I go off on Boeing all the time here. But again, I’m flying with Delta. I trust Delta Airlines. I’ve made my point about JetBlue in the past. Neither here nor there. I’m on the plane and maintenance guys get on. And first, they’re telling us there’s an issue with
cell phone chargers and we’re waiting around and waiting around and they tell us well you know what you’re not going to be able to charge your cell phone we can’t fix it then all of a sudden i’m like okay i’m to take off and i i got things i’ve got to do i’ve got places to be get meetings when i get down there and i’m like okay i’ll i’ll make it in time then more maintenance people planes not going anywhere nobody’s telling us anything let’s say maybe about another
45 minutes all of a sudden. Well, we’ve got an issue with the door. Now that’s something you do not want to hear when you’re on a plane. Okay, and I’m lying, but we’ve got issues with the door, Boeing door. I’m like, oh boy. Oh, and they got people, got top men working on it right now. They found a crew. They said that they got to call Atlanta, make sure that they can find the right maintenance people. I’m like, oh, okay. Well.
Push comes to shove on the airplane for what, two and a half, three hours sitting there. Off we go. Off the plane we go and then we gotta wait for another plane later on. Well that day shot, I have to move everything around, squeeze everything the next day. Whatever, fine. You caught it. Good. Mistake, fine. Whatever it may be. Again, the irony of it in Boeing and another door issue. Gonna.

Gonna make fun of Delta a little bit, to be honest with you. They gave us a meal voucher at LaGuardia Airport. All of a sudden, got a text message, email, here is your meal voucher for, we’re so sorry for you for the delay. And here is your meal voucher, $12. What the hell is it, 1985? $12, I don’t even think you can get a bottle of water at JFK.
for $12. Any freaking serious for crying out loud? Anyway, let it go. One more interesting thing I wanted to bring about about this Boeing thing and the criminal charges there. It’s brought to my attention. Should have thought of it myself. It was brought to my attention. I mentioned this Boeing has to pay $243 million fine. Can people die?
Planes fell out of the sky. $243 million fine. You know what Donald Trump’s fine was for saying that he, well, he exaggerated the value of Mar -a -Lago? $350
make sense. United States of America. America. We got a great, great justice system here in the United States. Okay, you over exaggerate maybe the value of your beachfront property in Florida. Your fine is $350 million. You screw up royally when it comes to making airplanes. Airplanes fall out of the sky. People die $243 million fine.
Yeah, logic, logic reason, just throw it out the window. Watchdog on wallstreet .com.
