Just in: new issues found with 737 Max

Boeing Co (BA.N) said on Sunday it will have to do more work on about 50 undelivered 737 MAX airplanes, potentially delaying some near-term deliveries, after its supplier Spirit AeroSystems (SPR.N) discovered two mis-drilled holes on some fuselages. Boeing confirmed the findings in response to a Reuters query after industry sources said an "edge margin", or spacing problem, had been found in holes drilled on a window frame on some jets.
quote:
"This past Thursday, a supplier notified us of a non-conformance in some 737 fuselages. I want to thank an employee at the supplier who flagged to his manager that two holes may not have been drilled exactly to our requirements," Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stan Deal said in a letter to staff referring to Spirit, which is the sole 737 fuselage supplier.
quote:
"While this potential condition is not an immediate flight safety issue and all 737s can continue operating safely, we currently believe we will have to perform rework on about 50 undelivered airplanes," Deal said in the letter, first reported by Reuters. Spirit spokesperson Joe Buccino told Reuters that as part of its 360-degree quality management program, a member of its team identified an issue that did not conform to engineering standards.

People should refuse to get on any Boeing 737 MAX right now. They are only finding these things because the spotlight is on them. They did not GAF before the door plug blew off.

You can only extend an original chassis so much until…

Spirit is constantly fricking them, and when they’re not, Boeing is fricking themselves.

I do. I only fly on the Boeing 737 MAX+, the newest version without all the problems. Boeing told me it's super safe.

Yup, he faked his death and is now running a gas station with Elvis and Tupac in Ramer, Alabama

Why? Has it not become blatantly obvious that Boeing has major issues with the MAX? I’ll still get in a NG or other Boeing. But not that one.

Boeing needs to cancel that supplier contract. Spirit sucks arse.
