Life expectancy of any airplane that is flying 2 to 3 flights every day short trips like 6 to 8 hours it’s normally 15 up to 25 years this airplanes are getting older then that and they don’t retire them to used as a shipping carrier airplane like UPS unfortunately boeing and airbus is way behind orders up to 4 to 5 years in order to replace old fleet from many countries orders let alone US airplanes so given the fact the price of each commercial airplane is going up there is no way they can keep up with replacing parts and keep this airplanes running in the best condition all the time most small countries wait up to 8 to 10 years after ordering new airplanes it takes time to receive airplanes nowadays the demand is very high the Arabic countries get the latest and newest airplanes from Germany that’s because they spend for luxury commercial airplanes they don’t care about cost

That 33 year old plane should’ve retired 3 years ago with a full pension, but due to inflation and rising cost, it had to keep working

Boeing 787s and Boeing 737 MAX 9 (the longest 737 Max in production) are to replace those 767. Due to recent quality issues, Boeing is far behind in delivering their orders forcing Airliners to delay the retirement of their old aircraft.

Then you're an idiot. I predicted stuff like this over a year ago. Why? Am I psychic? No, I just was paying attention to what was going on in the aviation industry, and what's going on is that both manufacturers like Boeing and the airlines themselves are operating with fewer crew, and investing less in improvements and more in stock buy backs. Then there was also COVID. During that time the airlines, to minimize profit loss, shortsighedly started forcing retirement on employees. And, we have to remember, it also killed a million people and some of them were in aviation. The result? At multiple levels the industry is hurting for skilled workers, the workers that are there are having to work hectic schedules with less downtime, and the companies, instead of investing in recruitment and training of new workers to alleviate the shortages, is spending as much profit as possible on artificially raising their stock prices! The reason stuff like this is happening isn't some boneheaded conspiracy theory, it's the same reason that so many flights get delayed these past few years. When the entire industry is running with staffing shortages, mistakes are bound to be made!

lol not an emergency unless the call a “Pan” or a “Mayday”

maintenance is a problem

For all of you suddenly concerned with aviation safety I will say that flying is still and will always be many hundreds if not thousands of times safter than driving (every aviation enthusiast/expert/engineer etc. will tell u this). Ever since the two MAX8 crashes the media has seen aviation as an easy way to attract views. Half the time they don't know what their taking about (Like wth is even Tarmac why do they all report Taxiways, Ramps, Aprons and Runways as just Tarmac, how hard is it to say that the plane had to wait on a taxiway rather than tarmac). (Anyways back to the point)...A simple go around after a hard landing is reported as an EMERGENCY that put the lives of the passengers at risk. If the media want to know how properly report on aviation then they should stop exaggerating on minor accidents like a tyre falling of a plane or a blown slide saying that it was an emergency. If you want to report aviation correctly... please learn that Emergency Landing is NOT the same as a precautionary landing. If the media wants to correctly report on aviation they should actually hire someone with expertise on the topic who knows how aviation works and both the correct terms and knowledge to report effectively.

They didn't do 'cross check'

again and again and again, maybe 400 years of value

Least this one was 33 year old jet, rather than one right off the assembly line.

It’s in The Hudson!

When I flew in around the year 2000, people used to chat with their neighbor on the plane (no ipads back in the day and iphone not out yet). Do people still talk nowadays? I’m assuming No.

Now you couldn’t make this 💩 up seriously ???

Also this airplane is fairly old so these type of incidents are pretty much expected…

how much you wanna bet this plane just went in for maintenance and someone forgot to put in a bolt or something

How does a slide fall off a plane??? Thats insane.

I flew this aircraft and I think it's past it's service age IMO. It was a loud and dry aircraft.

I know age doesn’t necessarily dictate how long a plane can stay in service… but 33 years old for commercial use?!?! Come on now!

slide is just blowing around up there in the clouds somewhere.

33 years old plane??? Seriously???? Change it!!!! So unsafe!!!

DELTA: Don't Expect Loved ones To Arrive

This wouldn't happen with a plane taking flight from ATL

What would happen if it was the slide in front of the engines?

It’s probably being used as a giant slip’n’slide in someone’s backyard.

Thanks Boeing!! Keep up the great work!!!

Software mess up?

Somebody at Delta maintenance base in Atlanta is going to get seriously screamed at if not fired over this. Aircraft schedule for maintenance is for a light or heavy maintenance check 14 days the other takes 28 before the aircraft is rescheduled for service and depending on what's indicated on the scheduled maintenance report they will literally take an aircraft apart and put it back together. The team to do the slide maintenance missed a step or two or didn't tighten securing bolts properly Delta didn't have a problem with working with the FAA once they got the report they're not going to hide anything on this period, in fact some staff are seriously pissed over what could have happened

Well, that's an emergency.

on the bright side the neighbors have a new slide for the kids

Even the Exit Slide doesn't want to fly in a Boeing 😂

It is probably due to a lack of quality control at Boeing and airlines not doing regular preventive maintenance.

Does your 30+ year old vehicle operates 100% after all these years? If is not, would you say that after 30 years the manufacturer is responsible even after 3 decades? Just asking!

@@cheo4201A six-week F.A.A. audit of Boeing’s 737 Max production documented dozens of lapses in Boeing’s quality-control practices. Remember - the murder of a whistleblower, the night before he was going to testify against Boeing. Law enforcement may term it as suicide but the fact remains that the Boeing plant has quality issues.

​@@wolfmangoland7972 I don't believe the 767 is the 737, nor is Boeing supposed to be directly responsible for maintaining an aircraft after loan or purchase. Boeing's current state though is pretty alarming.

@@BladeBrigade7 Your statements lack logic. Boeing's employees have raised red flags about a lack of quality controls. Read about the whistle-blower case. A few airlines are discussing canceling their contracts to buy airplanes from Boeing due to quality problems.

These planes are 35 years old .... time to retire these 767 guys.

Well wat is goin onnnnn

Boeing 767. What a surprise

Sounds like they need more mechanics or structural engineers checking these planes for all the airlines. They’re sending planes up with loose or defective parts.

Old aviation problems making a return

Where is the slide located? If they lost the slide than the overwing door must be opened.

The slide is located in a panel just above the trailing edge of the wing underneath the passenger window in the fuselage. You can see the open panel in the picture. The slide extends from there aft so that people can safely slide down from the wing, which is still 10ft off the ground.

Wow 33 year old plane? What car can last this long?

@@jeepthing98 well remember these planes are consistently worked on. Despite the couple a week we hear about, there are thousands in the air without incident. If your car was in the shop once a week getting a look-over for a whole day, it would probably last well past 35 years as well.

why are all these planes falling apart?
