I'm sure DEI hires have nothing to do with these maintenance "issues."

These problems are entirely on United, not on Boeing.

I also don’t think they’re evidence of incompetence.

I think they’re sabotage.

Main landing gear cover. On a 25 year old aircraft that has been through tens of thousands of take off and landing cycles, fatigue could definitely be a factor.

This Boeing hysteria is really stupid. It’s a 25 year old plane. At what point is the owner responsible for maintaining its equipment?

Right in front of the main wheel well.

Not a stress panel - not enough fasteners, but they all appear to be in place.

Honeycomb construction panel.

25 years old? I’m going to lean towards just plain old fatigue, as another poster noted.

Worked heavy transports in the military.
