They are building sub-standard aircraft to substandard examination .........or they are just unlucky ...... which would you risk your life on?

I've not been involved in aircraft manufacture but have some experience with submarines and missiles. The material specs are usually very stringent as is the design and testing of finished components. The component design would often have to be approved by the sub or missile manufacturer ahead of production. Mean-time between failure calculations would be carried out on many parts.
Once installed the system manufacturer would inspect and test their part of the overall item and then there would be further tests of the full sub or missile. There would also be visual inspection checks of the installation at every stage.
With all this in mind I'd suggest Boeing are being unlucky. However there is also the possibility that visual, and other in-service checks are not sufficiently stringent, or that some components are not considered sufficiently crucial to have more frequent or more in depth analysis during service.
Meanwhile does anybody know what type of aircraft flies from Birmingham to Malaga?
 
Southwest Airlines are responsible for the maintenance of the part that fell off. So it could be down to them rather than Boeing.

Never been to Boeing however visited the Airbus factory at Toulouse doing delivery inspections on the 350's many times.
Amazing place and watching the aircraft sections coming together is fascinating.

Go on Google flights put your flight number in and it’ll show you mate.
 
When I left school I trained as a hydraulic aircraft fitter.
We use to get stuff in from Dan Air or as it was called Dan Dare. I wouldn't set foot on one of their planes !

The components would come in for overhaul well over there hours and we're mostly only fit for the scrap

Haven’t a clue about these planes all I know is that Ryanair have some of them,do they use them on domestic flights or are they more for the European flights ?

Ryanair are the biggest customers for the 737MAX in the world.
They ordered 300 in 2023.
They have told Boeing they will buy any that other airlines have cancelled of the new max10
They use them everywhere.
 
Been on four RyanAir MAX flights in the last four months. They are a bit cramped compared to the earlier 737s and the Airbus A319/A320, but they feel pretty smooth in flight.
