I've seen that Dateline Australia video from 2011. (Regarding out of spec fuselage door sections).
That was 8 years ago so it does make me wonder. How many of these planes have fallen apart?

I agree. Hype but still needs to be
reviewed and attended to.

There have been at least two incidents of the guide bolts in theses slat track assemblies coming loose or human failure of the installation that caused the wing fuel tank to be punctured. One incident caused the complete loss of the aircraft which was fortunately on the ground at the time.

From an article regarding the previous failed parts. But, may be relevant now

“Shi said Moog is the exclusive supplier for all models of the Boeing 737, including the Max planes, and NHJ is the only supplier for this SPOF part for the 737 spoiler. His conservative estimate is that 500 Boeing planes may have been compromised, and are still in service.” (March 2019)

[Mr. Jeeves]

Since Boeing became a department of the Federal Government, we are starting to see typical Federal Government errors and omissions in their product line.

Exactly. Deep State Boeing.

If I were Boeing, I would stop all 737 MAX production, send all the completed planes to various storage yards around the USA, and slowly release the fixed planes once the FAA allows them to fly again.

Just chalk it up to liberalism. Boeing is a highly Democrat company. They just paid Obama 410 million in January to make a speech.
