@noondlyt it's systemic. I appreciate that the VP of 737 got walked out the building but the beans are winning.
It's actually worse on the mil/aero side where they've admitted they can't do fixed-price contracts ~ they rely on stuff like SLS where the government prints money
(they're hemorrhaging on the new AF1 and AF tanker too)

This is a Southwest maintenance issue. By this point in the life of the aircraft, that engine cover would have been removed and replaced many times.
Thank you. Very true. But also, SW is supported and informed by Boeing maintenance engineers. It's not like they are operating in a vacuum. Did SW ignore safety bulletins? Or did Boeing fail to issue a warning? Everything is interconnected.

We don't know yet if there are parts or procedures issues. I do worry this may be a long term issue due to changes in maintenance or parts for cost issues that causes reliability issues in the long term. Either SW or Boeing could have caused it.
@olav
Why is this bringing up questions of who wants Boeing to fail, or is this just a convenient distraction to obsess over to distract away from TFG's antics? @ralfmaximus@noondlyt
