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…
The 737 Max is what it is because the companies culture has failed to prioritize engineering and safety over profits. You can see this in soo many of their other products I.e. Star Liner, Dream Liner, etc.
I would have no faith in a new clean sheet design of the 737 because the company still has the same people making decisions at the top.
If I see the board and the C-Suite being replaced with people with engineering backgrounds, then I may start to think differently.
