With the low pay and ever-worsening working conditions, I'd be more worried about oversights/negligence than intentional sabotage (which sometimes happens all the way at manufacturing stage - see the Boeing door incident).
Unfortunately, that is unlikely to get media coverage because the solution would be to respect and pay workers more, a severe crime in a late-stage capitalistic society.
because the solution would be to respect and pay workers more,
They're already quite well-paid (and so are pilots). In fact the operating margins of airlines are infamously thin, so unless you want plane tickets to be several times their current price, it won't work.

Not to worry, they're furiously working on an alternative which will ensure no worker must ever be respected or paid ever again!
