- dbg31415 3y agoI bet they have maintenance contracts, or partnerships with companies that do. Seems like they would have at least said, “We know there have been some issues. We’ll incentivize you to sanity check everything. Pretty please?”
- barbazoo 3y agoUnited airlines has their own maintenance folks
- whoknowsidont 3y agoThat's not actually true. Airlines generally follow the procedures set forth by the manufacturer, and they do talk with each other quite a bit. I think what you mean to say is that this is plausibly, _likely_ to be a failure on the part of United, not Boeing. However this would not be the first time that manufacturers like Boeing recommend inadequate or faulty maintenance procedures. Only time will tell.
