It's still Boeing's fault. They're the ones that designed and built the damn thing. AA just asked for it; they didn't decide on the specific engineering defects that killed two planeloads of people.

Of course every customer ever is always going to ask for products on a faster timeline at a cheaper price. That doesn't absolve the manufacturer of its responsibility to build a safe product.

My point is that Boeing and American share fault in this. And I don't see anyone blaming American nearly to the extent they are Boeing.

And I'd be inclined to agree it's 100% manufacturer fault... except this was a pretty high pressure ask.

IMHO, for me, it crosses over the line into sharing some of the blame.

Yeah, because American doesn't deserve blame for this nearly to the extent that Boeing does.
