🇺🇸 BOEING LEFT PASSENGERS STUCK ON SCORCHINGLY HOT PLANE

American Airlines passengers were stuck on an unbearably hot Boeing jet for an hour while waiting to depart from Miami Airport before they had to switch planes as passengers became desperate for fresh air.

Reports suggest an electrical problem was the cause of the heat, with Boeing expected to formally comment on the matter.

Passenger, Daniel Solana:

"All the little kids were crying, it got to the point that second time we were on there, where it was like, it had to be at least 95 degrees in there."

Boeing makes planes, they don't choose who stays in the planes they make. It is American Airlines that left people in the plane, not Boeing. Give credit where credit is due.

You are correct!

Not looking good though, Boeing airplanes keep having more problems, so just another Boeing news story to add on.

Seriously! It seems almost like they weighed the cost/reward of a cheaper product vs. worse public perception. Even with how bad it's been lately, I doubt many people are going through the hassle of checking the plane manufacturer before they book a flight and avoiding it if it is Boeing. Even if some people are doing that, it seems like it would be awhile until that "cost" even reaches Boeing via airlines taking their business elsewhere. It's shitty, but it may be a bit more intentional than it seems.
