That FedEx plane was about 10 years old. Can't blame that on Boeing, but on FedEx maintenance.
This 737-300 is at least 15 years old and maybe older. The 737-300 was built from 1979 to 1990. Again, a maintenance issue, not a design flaw.

You need to bone up on your math. 1990 was 34 years ago. I know it seems just like yesterday.
One might like to think that the supposedly smart people on this forum would get that.
Yeah I was on 737-300s in 1994
All true, but you are preaching to the people who are not triggered by the word Boeing in a headline.
That said, one might think this is a concerted effort from the Media to put a knife in Boeing the way stories are written now.
Rational people who understand aviation fully understand that every mishap that befalls an aircraft is not a design flaw. The majority (probably, the vast majority) of those mishaps are NOT caused by design flaws introduced by DEI engineers or poor management or construction.
Most aviation mishaps are the result human error or negligence ranging from pilot error, to maintenance error, to carrier policy or administration error.
Boeing has made themselves a rich target, and rightly so, and I think it has become a form of entertainment to ridicule and denigrate them. But it doesn't make the underlying reality any different.
