Why?

They're not directly responsible for a handful of crashes and will sell replacement aircraft...

If anything looking at the photos of the Air Canada jet is a testimonial of structural integrity of their hull assembly. Have you looked at photos B737-800 accidents? Broken in three places... So what ya think?

Funny you mention the guppy being broken in various places. Take a look at the photos of various guppy accidents and you'll see the airframes broke in same spot.
