There are Douglas DC3s still flying in commercial service (not many, but a few). Those were built in the 1940s. 2004 is not all that old a plane.

Still, it’s old enough that problems like this should be attributed to lack of maintenance on the airline’s part rather than an issue in the design or manufacture of the plane.

Point is, it’s a maintenance issue, the media is quick to shit on Boeing. I mean they earned that but try to have integrity while reporting.
