I know Boeing is kind of fucking everything up right now, but safety delays are an indicator of safety, not the opposite.
They can also be a sign of poor quality control and/or poor quality in general, which makes them newsworthy to people (potentially) entrusting their lives to the workmanship involved.
Not to mention... didn't Boeing also help with the Ospreys? Those things are known for eating Marines throughout its development cycle. Gotta wonder if this complete lack of engineering may be a reason.
This is kind of a survivorship bias kind of thing (with the WW2 bombers): NOT getting the news is the actual indicator of lack of quality control. Getting reports of them finding things is an indicator they're actually looking. We know they had problems due to the whole, you know, planes falling out of the sky.
Of course it's not black and white, what's in the news isn't really the important thing either way. It's just what we can see.
Yes, but actually no. They are looking NOW, because they are being forced to look. They apparently weren't before, which is a sign of bad QA, and the scary part for the potential passengers.
