I was speaking with some friends at a Christmas party who work for the Navy - they’ve taken deliveries of planes from Boeing with the same sort of issues that start in the factory. They even went as far as to say the whole lot of planes should’ve been rejected but weren’t. Multiple things not built to spec.

The planes they worked on did not share an assembly line with the 737 but another Boeing model…

If I recall properly, sometime after the MAX crash saga, the Air Force simply refused to take delivery of their 767s because of unacceptable build issues, including foreign debris (aluminium rests and shavings) and forgotten tools flying around.

I didn't follow how that issue evolved.
