Because Boeing were on such a good streak already...

Well, they probably register repairs in databases, but they definitely don’t send people to check every single thing. Airlines also might contract Boeing to do some bigger repairs.

    I don't see how a repair that causes the nose of a plane to "fall off" would not be considered a "bigger repair"...

    I'm not saying that Boeing would be involved in the replacement of a tire from the landing gear. But something major enough to make the actual nose of the plane to literally fall off? That sounds important enough to me.
