New quality glitch to delay some Boeing 737 Max deliveries ( www.cnbc.com )

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.

Good.

The 737max is a terrible airplane.

I hope they wise up before it kills the company and we have to fly on something else.

So anyway...

How much more does the government allow this company to screw up before they force new and competent management to oversee this shitshow? It’s getting ridiculous.

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.
