Well, looking at another part of the organization distant enough that top management (the C-suite) is pretty much all they have in common: They had massive quality problems on their space capsule (Starliner). (They launched the first test flight without having ever done an intgrated test of the software in expected mission time -- which led to the computers being so confused immediately after launch that it blew most of the thruster propellant. That led to an urgent hunt for software bugs elsewhere, with the capsule already in orbit -- which found another nasty bug which was even worse.)
This is in addition to numerous other quality control issues on airliners -- several other well-publicized issues on the 737-MAX itself, bric-a-brac left in tanks on 767 tankers, quality control issues at the plant producing 787s.
It really does look systemic.
