#2This is one of those stories that wouldn't be noticed if not for the attention on anything Boeing related right now. Instead it's near the top of the front-page.
This hyper selective attention is very bad. It leads to all kinds of wrong inference about the background frequency of events, because suddenly when under the microscope we notice all kinds of things that would have previously gone unnoticed.

Well how often do cockpit windows of passenger aircraft crack?

Since this involves a window I can't help but think of the windshield pitting epidemic,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_windshield_pitting_epi...

From a 2022 report, trivially searched-for on Google:
> According to the Federal Aviation Administration, more than three dozen instances of cracked windshields have been reported by airlines over the past five years.

#6Recent 737 accidents remind me of the famous Aloha Airlines Flight 243.

On the other hand, the hyper focus on Boeing might result in some actual change instead of more of the same as before. Perhaps a little of the stick to contrast with the carrot?

It's a weird point to make. Does Boeing need your defense? In real life this is what happens. Bad students. Repeat offenders. Criminals. Neverdowellers. Their actions get spot lit and they're put under a microscope
I don't see how making a stink over Boeing's constant little problems isn't a tiny cosmic balancing act against their decades of negligence.

A cursory Google suggests that it is not an uncommon occurrence.

This article from 2014, predating all of Boeing's recent failures, claims it is a regular occurrence and is also not always reported because it's a relatively minor thing to happen:
