    Default Problems with some Boeing planes

    NBCnews.com: "Earlier this month, flames came out of the engine of a Boeing 737-900 operated by United Airlines; dozens of injuries were reported aboard a Boeing 787 Dreamliner operated by Latam Airlines that experienced a sudden drop; and a tire fell off a Boeing 777 operated by United. This week, NBC News reported on previously undisclosed issues related to a wiring flaw with the Boeing Max, which has been plagued with troubles since two deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019. Adding to the negative sentiment has been federal scrutiny of the safety culture at Boeing, along with the apparent suicide of a Boeing whistleblower."

    They slashed money on QA and now paying the price for it. I bet they will reverse course fast, but they already lost a bunch of future contracts over it & trust.

    Lucky for Boeing, they pretty much have a monopoly alongside Airbus, so they are not going anywhere. Airbus manufacturing is also at a max so they can't take over all the orders.
