When it comes to aerospace manufacturing and repair, the words “Quality” and “glitch” should never have to be used in the same report, much less the same sentence.

Detailed manufacturing records should be available to pinpoint the person(s), processes, tooling and everything else that went into these defects.

“will have to do more work on about 50 undelivered 737 MAX airplanes....”

I certainly hope they’ve cleared the ones already in service!

washington state declares meth legal and planes made in spokane start falling out of the sky.. that just doesn't make sense /s.

The human heart is born full of wicked ideas and desires, You dont have to teach a child to do bad, you have to teach them to do good.

if this isnt so, then why are godless people most likely to rob, rape and kill?

When I was in high school we had to take a shop class. No matter which class one took part of the class was blueprint reading and how to interpret measurements. Students today probably don’t get that exposure so they don’t learn the finer points of reading blueprints. So we end up with someone drilling holes at say 1 11/16 which they measure as 1 5/8. Or worse would be decimal measures!

No worries. A little dab of JB Weld and presto - problem solved.

I don’t fly much at all, but when I do, I will ensure it’s not on a Boeing 737, or any Boeing plane for that matter!

Anybody that thinks this kind of stuff is news or has never happened before has never worked in aerospace.

I see the “/s” but meth is not legal and no aircraft are made in Spokane.

Quality escapes on one or two aircraft is not uncommon. The simple fact that the article mentions 50 aircraft is GROSS INCOMPETENCE. It takes a long time to move 50 aircraft through production. In other words, this incompetence and lack of QC didn’t just happen overnight.

This DEI crap is going to get people killed!!!

THOSE FUSELAGES HAD TO HAVE BEEN LEAKING AND NOT PRESSURIZING CORRECTLY. THE CREWS HAD TO HAVE BEEN OPERATING THE PRESSURIZATION MANUALLY INSTEAD OF AUTOMATICALLY, ERGO, MAINTENANCE WRITEUPS HAD TO HAVE BEEN PUT INTO THE LOGS NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE AIRCRAFT TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR.

I don’t think humans drilled the holes.
