I think Boeing has had some difficulties. They have also had some undeniable successes. The 777 and 787 programs have no in-service passenger fatalities attributable to engineering errors to date. That's a monumental achievement.

The 787 has no hull losses at all right? And it’s been flying for 10 years now.

An extra safety margin is conferred by the stepladders found in the tailcones :-)
