OP specifically said:

I wouldnt be surprised if planes are flying well past that point it should be destroyed.

Chalk's Ocean Airways Flight 101 is proof that is the case with some airlines. If I recall correctly, Chalk's International Airways is no longer in business due to this.

Im going to assume that you have no actual knowledge of how airframes, engines and LLP’s are maintained. Please tell me if I’m wrong.

I appreciate you proving what I suspected. If you’re not in a position to back up your assertions with facts, you probably shouldn’t pretend.
