As far as I know, Boeing doesn't make jet engines. It's likely a GE engine, but it could also be a Pratt & Whitney or Rolls-Royce. There are plenty of reasons to hate on Boeing--like them outsourcing wing design to Japan. Despite billions in defense contracts, they gave away critical military technology to Japan to save a few bucks. Understandably, the Japanese were happy to manufacture wings at a loss to acquire it.
As other have said, those engines are tried and true. The problem was almost 100% on United's maintenance end with some FAA leniency probably also in the picture. The airport might also be to blame. I also wouldn't be surprised if the Harris administration changed the warm up or deicing procedures to be more "green".
It was a P&W engine
And you can bet the fuckup who signed off the checklist without doing the work wont lose his union protected job for negligence, he'll probably get promoted to fill some union required payroll position that has 0 responsibility outside showing up to "work" til late retirement.
That was the old unions. Now his job is only protected if xe is the right race and believes in certain (((ideologies))). Just like teachers unions and tenure allow people to be as anti-white as possible under "academic freedom", but if you question the lolocaust or cite race statistics you'll be fired without recourse.
