This is getting old.

I’ve been one of Boeing’s - and the industry itself - greatest critics for years.

But unless the so-called ‘media’ chooses to report equally on ALL mechanical issues with ALL manufacturers & airlines, this is just clickbait, likely ranked by AI for number of clicks.

A huge percentage of the commercial planes flying are Boeing so it is no surprise that any upward tick in problems will be associated with their planes.

Maybe it is indicative of a general downward trend in aviation maintenance. Others with more knowledge in this area may have ideas.

I agree. Good post.

With thousands of flights a day, there have always been maintenance issues. If the Press reported them all, it will fill up more than the front page of the newspaper every day. The Press is grossly overreacting—and just groping for news.

Many so-called emergency landings are simply precautionary—with the pilot showing an over abundance of caution.
