Boeing reported another problem with fuselages on its 737 jets that might delay deliveries of about 50 aircraft in the latest quality gaff to plague the manufacturer.

Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stan Deal said in a letter to Boeing staff seen Monday that a worker at its supplier discovered misdrilled holes in fuselages. Spirit AeroSystems, based in Wichita, Kansas, makes a large part of the fuselages on Boeing Max jets.

"While this potential condition is not an immediate safety issue and all 737s can continue operating safely”

    Yeah they pressure tested the Max 9s before delivery and we can see how well that worked out…

      No worries - so long as they don’t forget all the rivets in integration the fuselage won’t split in half. They’d have to forget way more than four fasteners lol
