It's very well known history, but far enough back to not reflect on anyone currently employed today. It is in fact not even the same company (pre MD takeover). But it's history that needs to not be forgotten, or it will keep happening.

Are you talking about crash in the atlantic? Airbus and regulators had already issued the bulletin/AD. The accident airplane was literally scheduled to get the parts replaced after the accident flight.
