    Is this an insinuation about the maintainers, supply chain, or the engineering? None of those stakeholders want the finger pointing to land on them at the end of an incident like this.

      This is me worrying that with the upper ranks being controlled by a narcissist who fires people when they tell him things he doesn’t like even if true… Things like this will become more common. Just like in Russia.

        That’s a valid concern but not necessarily in this situation. No commander gets into what the wrench turners are doing outside of generating sorties and ensuring that stats are being reported.

        The real options are engineering oversight or factor not accounted for, bad/defective/counterfeit part, support fuck up, or maintainer issue.

        These kinds of mishaps are big deals on the flightlines for obvious reasons. This kicks off an intensive investigation. Here’s an older example.

        “uncle Joe” hated bad news too.

        Edit: To those who think I mean Brandon: Uncle Joe was a guy in Russia. Learn a bit.

          Not sure I remember him demanding constant praise and gifts like dear leader. Or again, firing people for daring to report factual information dear leader didn’t like.

          There’s a reason he is so thirsty for Putin.
