That’s your choice, which other members may not share. Believe it or not, some APC readers don’t care as much about “Majors” as about some other aviation category. Posts need to be in the appropriately titled section so that people can easily find the ones that interest them, especially matters of universal concern, like Safety.

From another forum:
Prelim NTSB report includes "...left hand thrust reverser 'inoperative'..." and (at touchdown) "...air speed was 163 knots, ground speed 178 knots, flap setting 30 degrees, and ground spoilers deployed three seconds after touchdown."
So, now we KNOW they were fast (at 178 kts gs) and had no thrust reversers (assuming they wouldn't attempt to deploy them asymmetrically).
But wait, don't order yet, there's more...
They were initially cleared for 28, but as they were approaching, the pilots requested a switch to 10 - and were then advised there was arresting equipment at the approach end of 10, negating the first 1,200', making 10, effectively, a 7,800' runway.
So, very fast, no TR, on a wet, shortened runway in a thunderstorm. What could possibly go wrong?

You are a sad individual
Seeing you’re all over my posts, I’m gonna assume you can’t read. Because I originally stated in my first ever post I wasn’t involved with anything, I said I was here because I wanted to hear from pilots and not the bias media. I was then accused of being a reporter so I mentioned I wasn’t, I’m just an investor for Boeing. I’m not gonna be accused of anything, I never came in here boasting about my position in whatever, as far as I’m concerned I didn’t wanna mention anything like that, but the constant nagging at me left me no choice to explain why I was here. Go back and read.

Assuming your job title is "investor FOR Boeing" that means you have a background in economics and finance (but probably never took a grammar class). I am sure you have come across someone from the general population that knows a little bit about investing but thinks they know a lot. While they think they are making sound arguments it is clear to you that their knowledge of investing is very limited. The only way they can understand complex topics is if they simplify them to the point that it is meaningless.
That is how you come across on these forums. It is classic Dunning-Kruger effect. You have just info information to trick yourself into thinking you know what you are talking about. You don't. I suggest you just focus your energy on advising Boeing on how they should invest their money.
