In reply to the discussion: Boeing plane part falls off, strikes wing flap during takeoff in Denver [View all]Angleae
(4,536 posts)35. And just how long after building a plane should Boeing be responsible?
This one was made in 2015, making it 9 years old. Also the pictures look like someone opened the cowl, but then closed and failed to latch the bottom. Should Boeing go out to every plane they make, every day, to oversee all maintenance operations?

OP
Hear, hear. In the past, you needed Gremlins to do what these 737-800s do all by themselves.

No, fuck Wall Street. Boeing got a CEO who is far more interested in shareholder profits than he is in

This aircraft was manufactured in 2015 - KDVR putting "Boeing" in the headline rather than "Southwest"

The pilot reported that the crew heard a "bang" before the cowling separated.

It sounds like Boeing cut the quality control literally down to nothing with the 737.
