Well, if proper maintenance was done and the part still failed due to a design or quality issue that was improperly QC’d (missed, skipped, etc) then yeah it could be Boeings fault.

They’re getting extra scrutiny right now because of all the incidents recently, and all the anecdotal stories of former employees talking about how a bunch of suits are destroying it from the inside to make a quick buck.

And frankly, they fucking deserve it.

And frankly, they fucking deserve it.

Except the suits aren't going to be the ones hurt by the company going down in flames.

It never is, but it prevents them from continuing to build new planes were profit has priority over security and "accidentally" killing 100s of people
