In your project, you're ultimately responsible for what you ship, even if you're shipping airplanes.
And in aviation components it's also a lot more nuanced than some developer blaming a FOSS component without warranty. A supplier of certified aviation components (like Collins in this case) also has a responsibility to deliver components that meet their certification standards. The FAA will go after them directly, not Boeing, if what they ship doesn't pass the certification standards it's sold as having.
NTSB routinely issues "Urgent Safety Recommendations"? According to the table at https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/Pages/safety-recommendat..., there wasn't any in 2023 at all, so doesn't sound very common, but maybe things have changed since then.
But just like a broken clock is right twice a day, the sensationalism is right here. It's a Boeing problem. Worse, the 737 had (unrelated to this) rudder problems in the past that led to crashes.
So: Yeah, fuck Boeing. I can't wait for them to go bankrupt so we can all go in and restructure the fucking thing from the ground up.
That customer would only buy a Honda car, because they said they observed how absolutely strict Honda was regarding the quality of parts that they would purchase.
