Why, just before I'm due to fly? :(
I'm taking one of these, just "in case"!

I thought the eBay link would be to a parachute.
Have you seen the penalties for cracking the door ajar mid flight?Originally Posted by Jeremy67
Ryanair & TUI won't be best pleased as the vast majority of their fleet are 737-8** Next Gen models. TUI have already had to bring their Sunwing branded planes over from Canada to cover UK TUI flights and those Sunwing planes are all 737-800s as well. TUI's 757-200's are going to have to keep going for a bit longer!
And let’s not forget the mess they’ve made of the KC-46 for the USAF.
I got very disappointed thinking I’d see all sorts of pickle forks... having made a batch of pickles this weekend and picked up a new short fork to use in the bottles ...

Worrying as they attach the wings to the fuselage
En explanation form a retired engineer in article.
“Its like a coffee cup with a crack at the handle, it may be ok to keep using then one day you get hot coffee in your lap”.
Pleased to see FAA addreessing this issue by requesting repetitive inspections of a large range of 737 versions http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Gu...2019-20-02.pdf
I suppose this is what happens when you keep stretching and adding more weight and power to the original design.
Back in the late 80's I would fly from Aberdeen to Sumburgh every 2/3 weeks in old Vickers Viscounts. On a couple of trips upon takeoff we heard noises like steel cables slapping under the floor. Shortly afterwards the fleet was grounded as what we'd been hearing were cracks in the wing spars opening and closing!!!
