Obviously this is clickbait, but a fun read nonetheless. The comments too:-). No it's not "the same exact plane", it's rather the same type (model?) of plane.
I never would have interpreted the headline to mean "the same exact plane"?
I definitely did. I know this whistleblower had concerns about the build quality of the 787 and 737-Max already. So reading this headline, I thought he may also have said something about this particular airplane.
Yeah, the phrasing definitely makes it seem like "one" refers to "plane" not "model" here. Headline is textbook clickbait.
According to the comments, some people did!
I think since this is global news, some might interpret that with English as a second language
It's not the same exact plane, but another article mentions a Boeing employee who did have nightmares about specific planes being sold to Air India. This plane was produced shortly after the time when she was keeping track of those ones:
I can only guess how someone in that situation sleeps at night. And oh look, there is our answer: not well, reportedly.
Calling it "obviously clickbait" is far stretch. Yeah the sentence can be interpreted as meaning exact plane, but can also refer to the enitre model series. All the stories, and the whistleblower, were warning about explicit systemic issues at the company and with specific models. Therefor its not wrong, and also making a point of the connection seems like important news to me.
It is obviously clickbait. It would take no more effort for that headline to say "model" where the word "one" is, but they deliberately wrote "one", because the intention is to make you think it's the exact same plane.
So you thought it was the exact same vehicle the whistleblower was talking about? I don't. Think they would have been blowing the whistle of the problem as a single plane. Obviously they are referring to the model, not the literal flying machine.
