Boeing grounds 8 Dreamliners due to manufacturing defect.
Boeing has discovered two "distinct manufacturing issues" for the 787 Dreamliner and has told carriers operating eight of the affected planes, including Singapore Airlines, United and Air Canada, to remove them so they can be serviced. The defects were found in the join of fuselage sections toward the rear of the aircraft, and the FAA has been alerted................. (www.bloomberg.com) Ещё...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I'm still surprised that this company is still alive...
I have a friend that works for a place that builds parts for Boeing. ......knowing some of the test that they do and still Boeing says it's good ....ship it! I love to fly but not on Boeing Aircraft! They went to money over safety and I now know that for a fact!
Yes, they will save loads of money with the non-union Jethro's. They're only a couple of bolt holes off. Close enough. Hunting season next month.
Early 787s had problems with the aft fuselage. Repairs had to be made and some of the work took places outside of the Everett plant. I was at a MRO on Paine field about this time and they were bringing in 787s for the work. The part of the hanger were the 787s were being repaired was walled off from the rest and tarps were put over the aft section of the plane. Photos of the 787s in the hanger were forbidden. From what I could tell, repairs were being done inside the aircraft rather than to the outside.
There have been reports out of the SC plant of drug use and protection by management. They have no drug testing “at any time” to find the bad apples. Its a “good old boy” mentality if your friends with your supervisor. Is this workmanship due to drugs in your system? Who knows but I won’t fly on a 787.
I agree regarding the 787. Companies are willing to sell their souls in order to make more money, apparently -- UNTIL they get caught.
