All the hype about the 21st century when I was growing up and we are here and we don't have planes that TELL US that there's something wrong in this and this part of theirs. We humans are useless!

United Airlines does not outsource their maintenance to Boeing. They buy the planes just like you buy a car and they maintain them and operate them per their operational specifications and their maintenance plan.
Boeing doesn't certify any shops like Ford would. Boeing does have some rapid response teams, but they generally do very expensive, very complex repairs.
You can look up Owner Operator parts and Part Manufacturer Approval (PMA) parts they are definitely allowed and more complex than simple sheet metal parts.

My aircraft partner retired from there and did AOG (aircraft on the ground) support on the 37, 57 airframes, specifically the airpack systems and cabin pressurization systems.
Boeing provides a tremendous support for customers but that was not him doing the work, it was him troubleshooting and assisting in figuring out difficult to solve issues. Ultimately the airline's mechanics fixed it all.

They provide a lot of different types of support. The AOG teams can do both the touch labor and/or provide troubleshooting, training, and general assistance. I've worked with the AOG teams in each of those capacities. The times I've personally been around them doing the touch labor is when the airline had done something very stupid that caused major structural damage and they wanted some CYA for the repairs. Also seen a
Then of course there is the broader commercial aircraft support, that provides remote technical support.

Texas AG uses Boeing problems to be a racist piece of shit.

From the piece:
The request goes into detail in seeking internal discussions around Spirit’s efforts to create a diverse workforce “and whether those commitments are unlawful or are compromising the company’s manufacturing processes.” Paxton asked for a breakdown of Spirit’s workforce by race, sexual orientation and other factors, and whether the makeup has changed over time
Texas attorney general investigating Spirit AeroSystems, asking about diversity
The Texas attorney general has opened an investigation into a key Boeing supplier that is already facing scrutiny from federal regulators over the quality of parts it provides to the aircraft maker.

WTF does Texas even have to do with any of this? Spirit doesn't operate in Texas as far as I know, the part in question was built in Wichita, KS. The aircraft was operated by a Washington based operator and flying out of an Oregon airport. Boeing is also based in Delaware, IIRC.Texas AG uses Boeing problems to be a racist piece of shit.

I know these politicians know this, but the only reason any major company cares about diversity of their workforce is because it helps depress wages, just by simple supply and demand. This is why I massively support getting more women into engineering, I just think for ever woman that enters engineering school a boy should be rejected

Because TX thinks they have standing over everything. And they never suffer any consequences for playing these fucking games either.
All while openly talking about exiting the union.
Because they failed to convict. Also, fun fact, he's still under federal indictment. Has been for like 8+ years now.

DEI is the latest boogeyman buzzword meant to work up the sheeple into a foaming at the mouth frenzy while Wall Street corporate raiders aka “shareholders” continue to cut corners and extract every ounce of value from American manufacturing while blaming “others”. Unfortunately, most blue collar workers (conservatives and blue-state union workers alike) are just too happy to kick that football when Lucy’s holding—they never learn.

Oh FFS. FROM YOUR LINKED ARTICLE:
The 33-year old plane, registration number N176DN, has previously had engine problems, a cracked windshield, smoke in the cockpit and suffered a bird strike.
Not really material to the subject of this thread which is about current quality issues at Boeing.

It sort of is, in that none of those issues over 33 years ever made the plane kill everyone on board, unlike certain current Boeing models have done.
