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.
