I read OPs comment as being a question about using a company with a reputation like Google rather than using a cloud service, but I could be wrong.

San Luis Obispo has like 50k people, not sure it’s listed under 250k+ pop
It’s obvious but blew my mind when I was told that
And different winglets
Probably for spray paint or other damage. Or maybe for identifying when it fails
My body is already adapted to the seasonal change, don’t fucking start changing shit around!
Absolutely, there just seems to be some in this thread (I had assumed including yourself after reading your comment) that believed all turbulence could be detected before hand.
You cant always detect turbulence before you run into it
These also look like the ones rishi uses which they claim is silk
There are varying levels of quality of service in different countries due to shipping infrastructure, partnerships, content restrictions, etc, and I’d say that ties into the cost.
You also generally can’t open the wing in flight due to pressurization. At lower altitudes, where maybe they could open the door, they’d be going fast enough that there’s no way they could stay on the wing.
Their manufacturing is suspect on anything new, but also the max line has several fundamental problems outside of this that have not truly been addressed.
As you mention it wasn’t autopilot, the max really just isn’t designed to fly well and needs a system to assist the pilots in keeping it flying in certain situations. I don’t believe the issue was the pitot tubes, there are many on an aircraft of this size and they have deicing abilities. The issue was a separate sensor, of which there was only one (which breaks traditional standards of having at least 3) and that sensor sent incorrect data causing the mcas to nose dive the plane.
That’s issue 1. There is also the issue with engine deicing that can catastrophically destroy the engines if left on for 5+ minutes with no ice (wtf?? Pilots are used to a system that can be left on with no harm), as well as insecure bolts, and now this door plug not being secure. Boeing is not a company to trust anymore and MD had a similar record before their board took over Boeing, so it’s not a surprise.
The FAA already grounded their fleets.
Look up documentaries about Boeing and their culture after the MD merger.
I’ve been avoiding the max like the plague, but my first flight on one was today after reading about the Alaskan flight. I wasn’t near where the plug is afaict, and it was a good flight, but I did have a firm grip on the seat in front of me for the first 20k feet
Watch the documentaries, the former MD board basically took over Boeing, moved leadership out of WA to Chicago, set up separate plants (one in Georgia not sure if there are more) to counter union/worker demands in WA, etc. This has been a long process resulting in the rotting of the company from the inside out. The 787 was the first example of their garbage - - even though I like the plane, it had a lot of issues.
That’s mainly for their blue collar jobs afaik
You could always brute force comparisons between different mods
