“OK, this is rapidly turning into “pile on Boeing” “
That’s all it is. Jet aircraft windows are really complex because of the high pressures they take at high subsonic speeds. Cracks are a problem but they happen all the time to older airplanes in routine use.
All that’s going on here is news organizations are taking ordinary maintenance incidents and conflating them with Boeing QC, which is ridiculous. A 737-800 has been out of the factory for years.
Zactly.
Agreed, this stuff in pretty common, it’s not just a Boeing thing.
