This Video Of A United Airlines Pilot Replaces A Window On Plane Just Before Takeoff Isn’t Helping With My Flight Anxiety

Full Disclosure: Dean has a control issue and learned to love to fly after beating a crippling fear of flying from ages 0-30.
Watching doors, windows, and engine casings falling off of BOEING planes (not to mention the entire grounding of their 737s for a year because they kept nose-diving into the Ocean) hasn’t been fun to watch.
Another Boeing plane.
If only the Boeing whistleblower didn’t commit suicide in the middle of his testimony earlier this year…

This video isn’t helping either.
A United Airlines passenger was rattled after she watched a window get replaced on her flight moments before taking off … by none other than what appears to be one of the pilots.

The passenger—a self-described toddler expert named Kristin—documented the experience on her IG Story Sunday, filming what appeared to be the flight’s pilot fixing the interior side of one window before her plane from Denver to Dallas was due to hit the sky.
We know there have been several safety concerns surrounding Boeing 737 Max flights in recent months. Remember, a tire flew off a United Airlines jet back in March, and an Alaska Airlines flight from January was grounded after its cabin window blew out.
A couple of thoughts as a regress into a “non-flier” as I watch these videos:
- If you can avoid flying with Boeing, do it. Their CEO and board are resigning after a decades-long coverup of putting shitty parts on planes to meet manufacturing quotas. Whistleblowers are showing up dead, and no MORE are coming forward.
- Why is the pilot pulling double duty as an airline mechanic 20 minutes before takeoff?
- Was that the inside window or the outside window? There’s a difference. I’ve flown on planes that have the inside plastic portion of the window missing but was assured, “It’ll be fine.” It was okay, but it sure didn’t feel “fine.” “Fine” isn’t a word I want to hear from a stewardess when I ask if the plane missing a window is an issue. I was looking for “Absolutely Not A Problem, Sir. It’s cosmetic.” Fuck. Just lie to me.
- Am I the only person checking airplane manufacturers’ and airline operators’ safety records before booking ANY flight instead of the cheapest fare? It seems like gambling with your life over $300 might not be worth it in 2024.
A whistleblower who came forward after a Boeing jet lost a door panel midair is raising safety questions about a different Boeing jet.

John Barnett, the original Boeing whistleblower, was found dead in his truck the week he was going to give testimony about BOEING intentionally cutting corners to meet production deadlines.
Now, a bunch of Whistleblowers are coming forward to give more egregious accounts of BOEINGS’ manufacturing process, which questions the fuel tank assembly in every one of their Uber-popular Dreamliners.
WTF.
Maybe I’ll start taking the bus.
