I think everyone gets it's a delta maintenance issue. That plane didn't just roll off the line.

Yup! Those flaps don’t just break. Somebody did something wrong and several someones missed it.

“We felt it was bad turbulence. The plane was shaking,” passenger Shanila Arif told CNN. “The lady in front of us opened the window and told us it is broken. I opened the window and got scared.”

Shanila needs to not do things that make her scared.

Son took me up in a C172 opened window. I ask why you open window?

Yeah, read some of the other POA and FB threads ...
It is, after the first time something is scheduled to be serviced, an issue that's totally on the carrier.

Well based on the picture it’s not the oldest 737 they have (the winglets) but I’ve flown 737’s with over 60k hours. There is a point where it is on the operator. Guess it’s debatable where to draw the line. I figure if the jet has seen a heavy check it’s pretty much on the operator and the 737 flap system has been around for a very long time so I doubt there are any design issues at play here. It could be brand new and a manufacturing defect is in play. No way to know at this point.
