BOEING DON'T MAKE ENGINES.
But sure. Pile on.
They might not make the engines, but they are responsible with certification and checkups.
yes, but they bolt them on, certify them and maintain them.
And if this really is the fault of the engine-producer, then Boeing took a inferior supplier for its aircraft, not really any better.
I’m sorry but this OSS wrong on so many levels.
This aircraft is 9 years old. It is a B737-800. Boeing’s responsibility ended when it was delivered. Southwest are responsible for all maintenance and inspection since then.
There is only one manufacturer of engines for the 737NG type, CFM. The engine itself may go back to them for maintenance as they do run overhaul shops. But they are extremely reliable engines. And this engine didn’t fail, the panels came off.
This is not an engine failure. This is more likely some poor young fella forgot to clip the cowlings shut after preflight checks.
Yep. The plane was fully operational still and didn’t need the cowling other than it giving it much better fuel mileage. It really didn’t need to turn around but … people get scared.
Good point, but it's not that either. I guess most of the people here don't watch the ground crews at the airport before boarding - it seems these clamshell panels are opened between every flight (or at least very frequent intervals) for engine inspections and probably oil sampling. The far and away most likely cause is the ground crew forgot to latch the panel back up after performing their inspection.
So? They still put them in their planes.
"We're not responsible for putting shoddy parts on our aircraft because we don't make the parts!"
Like, seriously, how stupid are you?
