Conspiracies exist at 35,000 feet in the rarified air “where that pesky demon lives”, the threshold of the troposphere and benevolent weather patterns pierced by aviation technology.
Operating under the pretext of the Sound barrier and the historical icons of test pilots highlighted by Chuck Yeager, commercial airlines now face the onslaught and ire of the mainstream press as complex jetliner infrastructure has succumbed to the rigors of attrition and the inability of international carriers unable to keep a suitable maintenance schedule for their extensive and overtaxed fleets operating at a razor thin margin of satisfactory performance and disaster.
As Boeing has endured the majority of the propaganda punishment of the corporatized media attacking the aerial entity, the company’s adversary and sparring partner, Airbus, recently faced similar challenges and criticism from airline clients, as an entire bevy of Airbus A-350 long range jets were grounded by renowned carrier Cathay Pacific after an engine failure following a departure from Hong Kong’s Chek Lap Kok airport. No one was injured in incident. The airline opted to temporarily decommission the entire variant of jumbo jets in the wake of the near disaster and of course the press went onto the attack of the Airbus instead of holding the airline accountable for shoddy and cost-cutting upkeep methods to ensuring safety to passengers.
Boeing was severely lambasted by intellectually dishonest news anchors, editors, and reporters for the troubling mechanical failures among United Airlines jets, the whole narrative underlying the fact that the talking heads of the planets are just that in lacking substance or a technical comprehension of basic engineering principles. As with politicians maligning the airlines and airplane travel overall over carbon footprint, climate change, and now possible safety hazards, the hypocrisy is stifling while critics and skeptics rely on triggering viewer emotions that directly reinforce and sustain salient careers in the high-altitude friendly skies.
One key point regarding flight safety that is not mentioned through the disingenuous nodes of the media Banyan tree tentacle of an ambiguous Octopus of discontent, is the propensity of commercial carriers to ignore the overengineering within the infrastructure of the latest gen of jet planes. This vast oversight is costly on multiple scales and similar at least in the cerebral-socio-biological response of drivers handling a self-driving vehicle. Relying purely on technological reputation can be and is at a fatal approach in managing systems that our based within the digital realm and based in probability theory. Does the coin land on the side or the edge?
There are unconfirmed reports from the Mark Zuckerberg-George Soros camp of tyrannical chaos applications, is that cryptocurrency and Bitcoin futures are being employed to determine a quasi-viable maintenance schedule for aircraft in ultimately determining the fate of flights in the near future. While the insufferable metaphor of “rolling the dice” is facilitated by a wry adherence to bureaucracy, logic is being replaced by odds, and sensibility is traded for contrived insanity which is at the prevalent front of the Information Age, the nepionic stages of the new era apparent and a sublime intrepid dictating success over tragedy. The endgame is that airlines are not being held accountable for shoddy and reckless maintenance practices.
The next time that an individual looks up towards the lower levels of the atmosphere and spots a 737 max gracefully meandering towards and apparent destination, the legacy of Chuck Yeager is merely being convoluted by the pretense of the blockchain and ambiguous commodities that are based on myth, rather than tangibility, and most importantly compromise efficiency and safety.
Fate is just another word for inevitability.
