Maybe I’m ignorant as to how it all works but shouldn’t the airline have its own quality control and safety departments checking these kinds of things regularly?
I’m not trying to say it isn’t on Boeing too. But airplanes have tons of stress put upon them daily. Seems like you may want to do routine inspections with your fleet since small faults can turn into disastrous accidents very easily.

How old were these planes though? I'm not sure re-torquing internal airframe bolts during the first few hundred hours is a big priority.
Boeing and it's workers have been having disagreements over the last year or two regarding cuts in the Quality Assurance workforce. Boeing management is convinced that auto-logging computerized torque wrenches that log the readings as the plane is assembled for example are good enough to take the place of trained QA workers who used to go behind and double check the assembly work.
Think about the bonuses Management has reaped for the improved bottom line those cuts and reductions in headcount have produced!
But unions suck, amiright???
