You do understand that this is a 20+ year old airplane being maintained by the airline that operates it. Don’t you?
Boeing is no more responsible for this incident than Ford is for the 20 year old car on the side of the road overheating.

“ Maybe Delta should upgrade to the 320 family”

20-30 year old A320s have this problem too. Parts will fall off when not maintained properly.

“ Do you work for Boeing? 🤣”

No, but I work in the industry. I’m just tired of the media baseless attacks on one of America’s greatest companies and the idiotic comments from people who watch the media and participate.
There are over 1 million flights a day on Boeing aircraft without incident. Nearly all of the incidents the media attribute to Boeing are the fault of the operator. Like this one.

I’m involved with Airbus and Boeing. Our product is on both manufacturers planes. But it’s Boeing that the media have set out to destroy.
