I can’t read the whole article because of the paywall.

But from the lead in it doesn’t look like it really is ‘the same issues’ as in problems with a lack of redundant sensor and overly aggressive correction due to engines that are too big.

Anyone whose read the whole thing care to correct me?

The sensors and correction are a symptom of the issue at Boeing, which is an aggressive pursuit of profit over safety.
That's not the same as being the same issue. Issue implies something more specific.
Not at all. The 'issue' could be a technical issue, a cultural issue, a corporate issue, a documentation issue, a legislative issue, a personal issue.

If you stop diagnosing when you find a faulty part, you aren't diving deep enough. Ask why some more -- what allowed us to even ship a faulty part in the first place? The sensors in the plane are a faulty technical design, but what systemic issues enabled that faulty design to be shipped at all? Those are the root cause issues.

> Issue implies something more specific.

Why? No it doesn't.
