How is pajeets being retarded Boeing's fault?

Dunno about this specific case, but pajeets are boeings chosen ones

Yes, the starliner was a splendid shining example of their contribution to aerospace technologies!

It's gonna be pilot error.

When things go wrong that early in a flight it’s probably because the airplane was unflyable due to a mistake or malfunction that went undetected. Sure, the pilot may have made an error when something malfunctioned. But this is so routine that what went wrong was catastrophic and not recoverable in the time they had to react.

It ‘lost’ lift and plummeted to the earth.

Two reasons a commercial aircraft will ‘lose’ lift directly after take off:

1 - mechanical failure ~ engines stop providing thrust, control is lost due to malfunctioning hydraulic/electrical systems

2 - pilot error ~ flaps and or slats not deployed or not in takeoff position

I watch every episode of MAYDAY so in my ExPeRt opinion, it looks like reason #2 is to blame for the deaths of over 200 people.

Fucking monkey forgot his flaps and slats and that’s that…flat

Would you take off and get to 600 ft without flaps?

With enough runway, yes. But this plane was climbing and then started sinking.

Could have just been a stall, they never lowered the nose despite sinking. It was a hot day and I wouldn't be surprised to hear the plane was over loaded.

My good friend used to fly the 787 for one of the US majors. Retired a while ago.
Might take some time, but I'll get the story.

probably multiple issues compounded and pilots too retarded to correct it in the 20secs they had. The airplane was one of the older 787s from 2011. There's so many variables here, maintenance, birds, ATC, etc.

they'll kill to keep the reason a secret, ahem.
