It's so weird, I never used to hear any issues with Boeing but now that I work for a contractor company for Boeing, all the problems are getting aired out in the past year.

Not really that weird just means the faulty planes are starting to be flown.
For example this article from 2022 shows United ordered 100 planes that won't all get delivered until 2032.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/13/united-airlines-boeing-787-dreamliner-order.html

United Airlines is buying 100 Boeing
787 Dreamliners with the option to purchase 100 more new jets that will fly its longest routes and replace less fuel-efficient, decades-old planes.
The massive order is a big boost for Boeing from one of its largest customers and comes as United has returned to profitability after the pandemics travel slump. The carrier has lately added more international flights thanks to a rebound in demand.

United said its order was the largest wide-body sale to a U.S. carrier.
About 100 of the Dreamliners in the order will replace Boeing 767s and some of its Boeing 777s. Chicago-based Uniteds entire wide-body fleet is made up of Boeing planes. The Dreamliners are expected to be delivered between 2024 and 2032, United said.

Delta and SouthWest also have Boeing planes. That was just an example of an order being place in 2022 and showing how the delivery of that takes many years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Airlines
Southwest Airlines is the world's largest operator of the Boeing 737. As of March 2024, the Southwest Airlines fleet consists of 820 aircraft, making it the fourth-largest commercial airline fleet in the world. All of the aircraft Southwest Airlines operates are from the Boeing 737 family of narrow-body airliners.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Air_Lines_fleet

Basically Boeing being this dirty impacts all the big airliners.

Oliver pointed out that Kayak and some flight searches let you filter out Boeing planes.
