Poor Boeing. They just can't catch a break...
6 comments

It’s almost like they had systemic issues with their quality control.
It’s really not at all obvious that Boeing is more at fault in this specific case than the airline/maintenance company.
Alas, if only there was a way to reduce the risk of these happening...
Seem to be able to break a catch though
Experienced employees will continue to be laid off until quality improves.
They could. They are however not interested in working for the catch.
I hope this is sarcasm cause in no way Boeing is ‘poor’. There is a duopoly of aircraft and doesn’t matter what reputation Boeing gets, the orders will keep coming in. If your airline cancels an order 5 others are waiting to take your spot.
I would be surprised if Boeing isn't seeing or going to see reduced orders because of this endless barrage of bad news.

Youll be surprised to know then someone else is willing to take the order if it's cancelled.

Airbus has a 5-10 year backlog for many of its models so it’s not like airlines have a choice.
Exactly. if I was an airline whos entire business depends on aircrafts then in order to satisfy my demands I cant just wait 10 years before something is available. Maybe instead of 50/50 it's become 65/35 now but that 35 is still years of jets delivery for Boeing.
