A reader at respected airline industry site Leeham News offered a comment that suggests they have access to Boeing’s internal quality control systems, and shares details of what they saw regarding the Boeing 737 MAX 9 flown by Alaska Airlines that had a door plug detach inflight, causing rapid decompression of the aircraft. The takeaway appears to be that outsourced plane components have so many problems when they show up at the production line that Boeing’s quality control staff can’t keep up with them all.

    Didn’t they can 900 QC inspectors recently?

    We should reinstate Roman crucifixion, but only for corporate executives that make deadly or potentially deadly fuck ups like this for profit.

    If this is true it could kill Boeing. I’m not sure the DC-10 scandal was worse and that killed MD.

    …And speak of the devil there’s a quote from an old MD CEO apparently bragging about fucking Boeing…

      Here’s a New York Times article from 2019 on persistent quality control issues during production of the Dreamliner, including one time someone left a ladder inside the tail of a plane.
