Boeing discovered another problem in some of its 737 fuselages that may delay deliveries of about 50 aircraft in the latest quality gaffe to plague the manufacturer.
Improperly drilled holes were discovered by Spirit AeroSystems, a major supplier that provides Boeing with fuselages, according to a letter from Stan Deal, CEO of Boeing's commercial airplanes division.

Emirates, with $52b~ in jet orders pending, is sending engineers to monitor Boeing's production lines like they're toddlers. It's openly stated as the last chance Boeing gets. Hopefully Boeing imploding lowers property values in Washington. Seattle is such a pretty area and I'd love to live there.
The tech companies seem to have a lot more to do with the high price.
Maybe multiple 737s will crash into the HQs of Amazon and Microsoft, instantly slicing a trillion of market cap between the 3 companies
Modern business practices destroyed what used to be an American prestige company.
And all the decision makers are still making bank and will never see any consequences for their actions. The US in the future will just be 10,000 billionaires moving peasants around like units in an RTS and when thousands get slaughtered by unsafe machines in factories or an ammonium storage building just explodes, that's life.
Time to work on those voice lines from the workers from Age of Empires II
man I dont think we're ever gonna stop hearing about the 737, might as well just nationalize boeing at this point so that maybe the next plane doesn't spontaneously combust because they decided it would save 20$ per fuselage to use self-igniting sealant around the door frames or some shit like that.
I saw a website for booking flights the other day whose whole thing was being able to filter out flights on 737s lol
Free market got this one alp stitched up, take that tankies

Un-fun fact: Boeing is primarily a military materials company.
Boeing is more likely to get bailed out and have money thrown at them than nationalized. That's how we do business in the US of A.
Boeing sold Spirit AeroSystems to an investment firm 8 years after the merger, now the repercussions hit.
We replaced the engineers with accountants.

line goes up.
