      Misunderstood you! You meant the plane’s old enough that Boeing’s QC issues are not a likely cause.

        I mean it was 12 years old. That’s old. Any recent issues with Boeing of which there are a ton, shouldn’t reflect on a 12 year old plane.

          12 is not very old for an airliner, they are expected to last for 20-30 ish years.

          More in some cases with proper maintenance. The air force one planes for example are almost 40.

              Except it doesn’t, the whistleblowers are from the dreamliner’s construction and claim it takes 10-15 years for manufacturing slop to cause crashes
