There are days where I wish I had! So, Boeing killed 346 people in two 737 MAX 8 crashes six months apart in 2018–2019. Then a 737 MAX 9 lost a door plug mid-flight because it wasn’t bolted. Pants were soiled but no one died. The 777 and 787 are riddled with safety-critical manufacturing issues that halted production only after whistleblowers spoke up. The latest 777–9 flight test resulted in two testbed aircraft having broken thrust links (kind of a big deal). Oh and their latest Starliner capsule had to return to Earth sans the astronauts it was supposed to bring back, because it was deemed too unsafe. Now those two guys are stuck on the ISS. It would be quicker to list the things Boeing did right over the last six years
