This is a maintenance issue. Not a Boeing issue.

Sounding more like a sabotage issue.
To: 3RIVRS
It’s a pilot’s preflight walk-around issue. Every flight.

If its Boeing I ain’t going.

That’s a bit hasty, isn’t it. You don’t even know the age of the aircraft. If this was one of the last 737-800’s delivered, it might have been poorly made (due to DEI).

No, it’s a maintenance issue. No matter when that aircraft was delivered, I assure you, SW crews have had that engine cover off and on. It’s on them.

This is a maintenance issue. Not a Boeing issue. I partially disagree.
Boeing has a system that should alert the pilots if the engine cowls are not properly latched. It is not clear at this time, and we may never learn, if this warning system failed or was ignored.

I stand by my point. The most likely cause is usually the case. The last guy who worked on the engine did not latch the cowling properly.

Has Boeing engineering adopted some sort of Velcro fastener program perhaps? 🤔

Starting to wonder if some Seattle antifa whacko isn’t loosening bolts in the name of destroying capitalism.
To: Red Badger
I suspect that most of these issues are human error that is not being reigned in......lackadaisical maintenance habits in aviation can be like a virus spreading throughout the workplace......I’ve sent it first hand, and once it gets going drastic measures may need to be taken to bring it under control.....or REALLY bad things can happen.....way worse than what we’re already seeing.

These incidents are the culmination of years and years of ‘Affirmative Action’, the previous name of ‘DEI’.
