Exactly.
I flew the 777 for a living. It's a tank.
Extremely reliable, flies like a dream, plenty of power.
I haven't flown the new generation 777 though and you can bet it's not as safe. Nothing Boeing makes now is.

I used to be a "if it's not Boeing I'm not going" pilot.
I feel stupid now.

Airlines suffer the exact same problem. Greed.
Boeing doesn't make the engines. GE does (or Pratt and Whitney).
They are very reliable engines too.
If they start failing in a specific airline, it's a maintenance problem.

Edit: also as comments started, this could be nothing but normal issues, haven't read the article. I stopped reading at "engine issues, including tyre falling off..." What??

I steer gigantic metal birds pulled by armies of horses carrying dozens of people, to the antipodes... in less than one day... using dead animal juice.

There's a guy, Isaac Newton, he's 57.
Ask him about his second third law, hopefully he came up with it already.

If you tried copilot at the beginning, it's improved a lot since, now it's using GPT-4.
