Sure but an engine cover falling off is hardly Boeing's fault, that's a maintenance problem. The thing is a lot of these reported failures are maintenance issues, sure Boeing has their problems absolutely, but they also make the most common type of aircraft in the world. Inevitably there are going to be problems and most of those problems will be with the most common aircraft, because, by definition, there are more of them than any other type.
Bro, did you just simp for Boeing, then go off about how government is mafia when they have been twiddled around the thumb of giant corporations? Bro.
Have you read about Boeing? The statements, the fired engineers, the cost cutting, that whistle blower that "had a little accident" whereby he died mysteriously, the history of the company that Boeing acquired that ate Boeing up from inside and turned it into the same shark tank?
Like bro, get off that exec and shareholder jockstrap - I beg you.
Dude get off your high horse.
Boeing is not without problems. They have tons. Namely the whole self-certificatjon process (which really is just as much the fault of the FAA, for allowing Boeing to do so, but that was also with tons of lobbying dollars from Boeing) and everything that resulted from it (basically everything about the max 8).
But this specific example is not fair to pin on Boeing. This really sounds like a maintenance issue for SWA.
Yes we should ignore the facts in this case because they're a shitty company overall.
Who was I talking to?
What...?
