Loose...or loosened?

It could be:
1. torque wrench improper use.
2. torque wrench calibration overlooked.
3. torque wrench not used, due to improper training.
4. Improper QA procedure.
5. QA penciled.

As former DoD QA at DPRO/NAVPRO faccility, did witness These sort of things.

Boeing went outside of Seattle to get away from the unions only to find such poor quality of work that the costs are exceeding any savings.

This is what you get when you interview a diversity candidate who claims they can find 5 3/16” on a tape measure but then cannot do it in the interview. “Um, see, I gots the skeeels but, um, see, deys tells me you aint’s allowed to ax me dat rits now.”

Boeing is screwed.

Specifications call for “finger tight.”

I’ve flown on those twice, and hoped each time they had all the bugs worked out. Guess I was wrong.

I frequently had to fixed machines at Standard Pressed Steel, back in the early 80's. Every nut and bolt made were backed by serial number, destructive testing, microscopic thread angle analysis, freeze-thaw, boiling oil, shock and vibration analysis, corrosion susceptibility, and chemical composition. (Hardware going into space shuttles, cruise missiles, Navy Ships, Tanks, Planes, etc....)

In 1993, Clinton removed those kind of standards from most of those industries. His state department that took over weapons and delivery of same from the Pentagon, felt the costs exceeded reliability and safety value.

Those which run America's State Department are the most evil and corrupt bunch of thugs to ever roam free on this planet. Pure concentrated evil.

So is torque for US planes specified in ft*lbs or N*m?

If ft*lbs, maybe a non-US worker presumed the number was in N*M. 1 ft*lb is a bit over 1.35 N*m, so if 1 ft*lb was specified and they torqued it 1 N*m it wouldn’t be tight enough.
