Ah, you are referring to the Press, not to the Boeing workers themselves—sorry, I misunderstood you before. I thought you were saying that the tail in question was built in SC, which it wasn’t, AFAIK.
The plane should not have caught on fire. That’s a scary defect and really bad news for Boeing, regardless of media bias.
My point is that I doubt that it is any kind of defect. At least not in the normal sense.
This is kind of like NBC's 'dangerous pickup gas tank' from decades ago.
These are purpose caused 'defects'.
The purpose is what I stated in my post #19.
PS, I’m not referring to any of the SC Boeing workers, or maybe not even their Seattle workers.
I’m referrring specifcally to acts done by the union, and/or their lackies.
Media are simply lap dogs.
