Someone in maintenance screwed the pooch.
If you’ve got the time, an extra night in Aruba ain’t bad. Unless your name is Holloway.
These kinds of things should be making everyone nervous about flying........
It is a maintenance issue.
Look at their hiring practices, not the brand of airplane.
Okay it looks to me like somebody is not liking Boeing aircraft anymore. Did they refuse to contribute to Biden campaign? It’s hard to believe that suddenly they’re having all these failures, after Decades of success and safe flights
No, the press is going after Boeing because they are trying to confuse the issue for whoever is paying them (probably a competitor like China C-919 or France’s A-320). ALL of the issues that are being reported as manufacturing issues seem to be maintenance issues. The lines have been filled with unqualified DEI employees or EOC employees and the Press is trying to shift the blame to Boeing, in my opinion. Maybe it is our government that is doing this hatchet job. Who knows? I recommend that everyone takes a very skeptical eye with what the see or read from the media. It probably is a lie. Instead of their motto “All the News that is fit to print”, it should be “All the propaganda that is fit and profitable to print”...Just sayin’.
I was working for an Israeli company that shared a contract with General Dynamics. Our company built the “white” section of the product and GD integrated that into the “black” section. We had an employee who was sabotaging the product. It cost us thousands of dollars. Then, he pee’d in a sealed enclosure just prior to sealing. That narrowed it down and I wanted to have a genetic analysis done so we could finally locate him and fire him. They wouldn’t let me. They were terrified of being accused of racism.
They were racist, but the fact that the employees had access to infinite legal help kept it from appearing on the production floor. Eventually, the sabotage stopped. Either he stopped, doubtful, or got fired or, more likely, quit or ended up in jail. (The jail thing happened often.)
What I’m saying is, just one of the thousands of employees at Boeing could cause infinite and varied problems. How many times have you worked with someone who absolutely hated the company you worked for? I think it is fairly common. Throw in a bit of sociopathy and there’s no telling what someone might do.
A study I read from HR essentially said, “Hire only white or Asian middle-class heterosexuals and you’ll be fine.” That isn’t what the study actually said, but if you read all the data those were the ones least likely to sabotage or sue.
“’Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.”

Boeing is now at the mercy of their customers. Air lins can claim emergencies when ever they want to get leverage with Boeing.
It appears that something is not right with airline maintenance.
(Boeing 737 900)
800 and 900 are Max, yes?
So with the tens of thousands of flights each day, how many non-fatal equipment incidents have occurred each day historically? Is the number higher these days, or are they just being reported in the news more (and people freaking out more)? I really want to know.
Introduced in 2000 you have to wonder at the age of this particular aircraft, once again I think this is a issue that is wholly airline maintenance related rather than Boeing.
I accept that Boeign has managment problems in terms of quality control, but I start to wonder if any deliberate sabatoge has gone on, on the production lines.
It’s shark week ...

Jet engines, their components, their housings, are naturally vulnerable to physical objects (usually birds), noise, vibration, harshness, cold air, and heat.
“Composite” parts are especially vulnerable.
And, “composite” parts tend to let us know, where they are not durable, not reliable, and should be replaced by parts consisting of more durable material.
That (”then, let us use the durable parts”), is eclipsed by executive, financial, and marketing bosses.
"Loud booms" shortly after take off? That will get your attention...
