They definitely are capable of flying that fast, but I can't imagine them flying much faster than Mach 0.84 or 0.85. The Bean counters wouldn't like that lol.

You could try UBlock Origin in the Chrome or Firefox store. Although I have found it only works half the time for me.

Exactly any article that criticizes Boeing on here immediately gets flagged as a "Boeing hater". Boeing's management did this to themselves and unfortunately now the employees are feeling the impact.

Exactly. After the issues with the early model DC-10's were fixed, it was a safe aircraft. The MD11 had its own issues when it was released, but no major design flaws other than the center of gravity problems which were fixed years after most airlines had gave up on the aircraft. Most of the issues pertaining to the MD11 incidents were related to pilot error and/or poor training.

The person that did this must of been the same guy that painted both end zones with the same team for the Superbowl a couple years ago lol.

The Last flight I took a few months ago TSA scanned the boarding pass from my phone, so I think it is implemented now. Regardless of a phone pass or a physical boarding pass, it is crazy she got this far.

It is too late for that. Boeing decided a long time ago it would rather continue recycling the same airframe through several generations instead of creating the second generation of the 757. Airline's realized the 737-900 was a pig and didn't have the range they wanted fully loaded, so Boeing responded with the ER which, technically is more capable, but still doesn't quite fill the role of the 757.

Unfortunately that is the trend in journalism these days. The more likely a title is to be perceived as controversial, the more views it gets. The NFL does this all the time.

Even if they could strip the weapons and make it legal for civilian flight, you couldn't go supersonic over land so that would kind of stink though.

This is a double edged sword. If you don't comply with China, then you face who knows what kind of consequences from them, but if you do then you look terrible and likely will face some nasty PR that could do major damage to the company.
