If I have any bias in this issue it would be towards team A, but this is ridiculous.
"The 787 battery fires." are ancient history now.
"The 737M control issues." Yep. That's a real problem B needs to fix.
"The 777W engine issues." Seriously? It's the airframer's fault if the engine manufacturer is having trouble delivering a new engine on time and up to spec? Hello. I've got the A320NEO delays on line one and A380 RR engine failures on line 2. They'd both like to talk to you. Engine delays and defects happen to both A and B. As long as the defects get corrected, this is normal.
If you want to list three problems Boeing has with its reputation right now and don't just want to say "737MAX" three times, that list should probably be:
737MAX:
Air Force tanker quality problems; and
737MAX (or maybe 787 quality problems, but I'm not sure how serious those are).
