Boeing Co said on Sunday it will have to do more work on about 50 undelivered 737 Max airplanes, potentially delaying near-term deliveries, after its supplier Spirit AeroSystems discovered two mis-drilled holes on some fuselages.
Boeing confirmed the findings in response to a Reuters query after industry sources said a spacing problem had been discovered in holes drilled on a window frame, but the jetmaker said safety was unaffected and existing 737s could keep flying.
It is going to take decades for Boeing to regain their credibility. Even if this is “minor,” it’s still another hit on their reputation.
There’s no option. Boeing is too big to fail. Nothing will change. Us tax dollars will make sure of that.
Exactly. What is the alternative? The US cannot accept losses to Airbus and Embraer cannot compete in certain size classes.
Too big to fail = to big to leave to corporate capitalism. If it is so important to our nation, then nationalize it.
Nationalization.
