This was a 26 year airframe. Boeing deserves shite but let's keep it fair here. Panels have flown off Airbuses as well.

can't tell if this stuff happens alot and we don't hear about it but now the media is reporting every mishap to pile on.
Things happened a good bit before camera phones/social media became popular. The airline I worked for had a tire come off during a landing. I had pictures of it on my phone but I was one of the few who had a camera phone at the time.
I remember asking both the FO and Capt how did they know that they lost a tire...like if some alarm went off or something....one said we noticed when a tire rolled passedus as we were slowing down.

I heard from a friend that their planes don't even have phalanges.

Boeing is under a micro scope, everything is news worthy now. If you look at the amount of flights per day vs “mishaps” it’s practically nothing… in 10 years with the DEI and FAA looking to hire “severely impaired people” it’s only going to get worse, the FAA has become almost incompetent in the last 5 years…

A United flight from Baton Rouge to Houston today lost pressure in the cabin and had to stay under 10,000 feet for half the trip. It wasn't a Boeing plane, but still…
A United flight number, but not operated by United. Operated by CommutAir, Mesa, or SkyWest.

Never important to the news media or most of the public in general.

I am flying out west next month. Glad I am flying on a yellow Airbus 321 Neo.

Coworker booking a flight to Hawaii this week. He says United prices are half of others right now. Not sure if related.

"If it's Boeing, I ain't going." I think it was a Boeing employee that first said this.

So that makes what, 7 issues within last 10 days and 5 have been on United
Last week a UAL flight out of SFO lost a wheel immediately after takeoff. The wheel landed in a SFO employee parking lot and wrecked 2 cars.

Boeing is one plane crash from bankruptcy

It also helps to ONLY have 737s. Other airlines will operate with several different manufacturers. They’ll cut costs and it leads to this.

I sadly think it will take a crash (or 2) and the NTSB results (along with a whistle-blower like the poor guy who just got Clinton-ed) for there to be wholesale changes where the company hires the best person for the job and not who checks the most boxes.
The 800 Max they could pass off as 'non-American' pilots/companies who didn't have the training to prevent the crashes....(I believe there is video of an American (nationality not sure if he flew for that airline) who was able to survive the crash in a simulation...I realize that a simulation and real time isn't exactly the same thing but still.
It is going to have to be proven that Boeing hired a substandard engineer over a better engineer to meet a quota for things to change.

About a decade or so ago Southwest went through a string of engine disintegrations and fuselage cracks.
They also started having more issues (not necessarily news worthy) when they moved some of the maintenance work to Central America.
