Are there really more things going wrong on airplanes?
Noticing more problems with Boeing planes doesn't mean there are actually more problems with aviation safety.

Excerpt:

So what's actually happening? Are more planes having incidents than ever before? Or are we just hearing about more incidents?

It?s mostly the latter. Minor aviation incidents with few or no injuries - like those listed above - happen constantly. They just don't make the news.

So things aren't going wrong on planes at an unusual rate - you're hearing about it at an unusual rate because, ever since the January incident, journalists are paying much more attention and writing stories about relatively minor plane incidents, and people are nervous about planes and are eager to read stories about such incidents.

Various minor issues, from engine trouble to maintenance issues, were always happening under the radar but weren't newsworthy; now, the same incidents are news, especially if they happen on a Boeing (and given that almost half of the US commercial fleet is made by Boeing, they often do).

Default US to criminally charge Boeing, seek guilty plea, sources say
Its more bad news for Boeing, this time related to the 737 MAX deal with the Justice Department. From the article:
The Justice Department decided to charge Boeing after finding it violated a 2021 agreement that had shielded it from prosecution over the fatal crashes involving 737 MAX jets. The deadly crashes took place in 2018 and 2019, killing 346 people.

The decision to move toward criminally charging Boeing deepens an ongoing crisis engulfing the planemaker, exposing the company to additional financial ramifications and tougher government oversight.

A guilty plea could also carry implications for Boeing's ability to enter into government contracts such as those with the U.S. military that make up a significant portion of its revenue. Companies with felony convictions can receive waivers, and it remained unclear to what extent the Justice Department's proposed plea deal addresses the issue.

If I was a writer for the Babylon Bee, the latest headline would be:
