I never said anything like “this is clearly not Boeing’s fault”, I said it likely isn’t the fault of their recent QA issues, as in I’d bet money on this being someone failing to inspect and replace a part on schedule over it being a poorly made part of recent manufacture, or for that matter a badly specified maintenance schedule. Of course I could be wrong, but my guess is that when the full report comes back the onus will be on whomever didn’t follow the schedule rather than on the OEM.
