Off course it’s boeing

Crazy how boeing used to be far far superior to air bus.
Pretty much shows you how far america and american engineering has fallen.

How does boeing still a functional company?

As many bad shyt as has happened to thier planes recently.

Are thier planes a necessity?

every since they went from having engineers and people emphasized who emphasized quality/safety versus this new penny pinching/cheap maximize shareholder money CEOs of the last 2 plus decades, you've seen the results.

Too many sorties (flights).

The airline industry over the past 30 years has grown exponentially. And too keep up with demand, it’s damn near impossible to get thru scheduled maintenance the RIGHT way and meet schedules.

And consumers treat flying now like they riding a greyhound bus. No patience.

Boeing have always had ups and downs, as do all airplane manufacturers. Building a modern flying bus isn’t easy at all. That being said, the incident in OP is likely a maintenance issue vs engineering issue

did boeing fire all their engineers and qa?

lol they just ignore them to cut corners. Everytime there’s an incident it’s followed by a report of engineers and QA complaining that nobody listened to them lol.

Given the number of employees has as well as the massive supply chain infrastructure many people argue that Boeing is the most important company in America. The economy would nosedive if they got Boeing out the paint.
