Seems that Boeing is plagued with incompetence.

This case seems to be a result of the airline's bad processes rather than Boeing's, at least so far.

I'm not sure how this one is an airline process issue. Boeing recommended checking pilot seats, pointing to instructions on disassembling the seat motors.

Towards the end of the article it mentions that motor switches should be securely covered and not used during flight. Both sound like potential design flaws - if the motors should never be used during flight they should have covers that can't be left open and/or the motors should be disabled while in the air.
