I didn't say Boeing had no problems. But even the problem with the rudder in the 737 tails was still a specific component that was identified and corrected. There is an uneasy feeling developing that Airbus has gone too far too fast with composite materials and that such planes are simply not strong enough for severe conditions. Just like rust developing in cars, such problems might only show up a few years into a planes life.
Therefore if that is in fact the issue with Airbus composites (and their fly by wire concept) this could be the start of a major issue.
