I missed that part, and since it's a newly delivered plane (this January), it's safe to assume the mitigation was in place. Preliminary report will be interesting here.
replyWonder why they don't just grab a huge permanent Sharpie and write in huge letters "Do not insert pin here" on one hole and "Insert pin here" on the other hole.
replyI'm actually serious, it seems to me they resist these kind of short-term helpers that would save lots of injuries.
I think the report says they just put a little cover on the hole where the pin shouldn't go (but can).
replySure, but they probably took 3 years to have a design review, an executive review, some firings and layoffs, re-hire, orientation, a sprint planning meeting, a sprint retro, a post mortem, an OKR meeting, a KPI meeting, an all-hands, and then the cover probably got stuck in customs with tariffs, and then the tolerances probably weren't correct.
replyMeanwhile the sharpie would take 1 minute.
