minus-square@huginn@feddit.itlinkfedilink2•3 months agoIt’s always been that frequent… The 737-MAX issues are very high profile and represent an extremely bad issue at Boeing’s core. But these issues are nothing like that. They’re constant background issues that you were ignoring before now, you’ll just go back to ignoring them.
minus-square@invno1link1•3 months agoThis is a maintenance issue with the airline, not a manufacturing issue. Big difference. A mechanic doing routine maintaine probably forgot to latch the cowling.
