The positive thing is that these defective parts probably aren't making it into the spare parts supply chain, so if planes start falling out of the air because the rudders break off, they'll mostly be 737MAXes and not the older models.<p>I used to think that the 737MAX line would be the safest of Boeing's products because of all the extra attention after the terrible crashes, but from the sounds of it, the rot runs too deep in Boeing.
