Boeing Employees Explain Why They Refuse To Fly In Boeing Aircraft

“I have seen the things I have seen. I have done the things I have done.”

“I’m not flying in an aircraft held together by its paint.”

“Why, are you wearing a wire?”

“Would you fly a plane that your coworkers built?”

“I forgot to put landing gear in one of the planes, but I don’t know which one.”

“The driver’s-side door handle broke off, so now you have to climb in through the window, which is super embarrassing if you’re with a girl.”

“I feel safer on the human-sized pneumatic tube I built from my house to Cleveland.”

“I actually can’t remember whether any of my private jets are Boeings.”

“The wings don’t even flap.”

“I’m too tall to fit in the seats. That’s all, really. And maybe I’ve laid off too many people.”

“Years ago, you’d see one or two planes a year leave the factory without landing gear, and you’d shrug. But these days, it’s like every other plane, and I don’t like those chances.”

“Just a quirky love for doors on planes.”

“I have a strict policy against dying where I work.”

“I prefer the majesty of rail.”

“I refuse to fly in a plane made by the same idiots who went winless during our company softball team last season.”

“I fly Spirit, where you’re more likely to be killed by a passenger.”

“They just don’t make duct tape like they used to.”
