Bad piloting and bad maintenance have nothing to do with shoddy construction.

The endless “Boeing Sux” stories are about bad piloting and bad maintenance.

Groupthink and hysteria are dangerous things. They gave us covidiocy. Remeber?

Bad piloting/Bad Maintenance and Poor Design are not in any way mutually exclusive, they can all simultaneously exist in one single mishap. But we should all keep in mind that bad piloting or maintenance can and does occur in the complete absence of poor design, and good piloting and maintenance can and often does overcome poor design.

Jacquerie, what you describe in post #52 may indeed be fully factual, but it doesn't have anything to do with a foreign carrier whose plane skids on a wet runway and is damaged because the pilot is poorly trained or the maintenance crew in Sri Lanka didn't service the brakes or tires adequately. Now if they investigate, and find the system is faulty, that would be a different thing. But right now, you apply Occam's razor, poor design is not at the top of the list.
