Boeing’s reputation continues to slide as a new fuselage problem was discovered on 50 undelivered 737 MAX jets, Reuters first reported.
Stan Deal, the chief executive of Boeing’s commercial plane unit, wrote in a memo to employees on Sunday that the Renton, Washington, factory will “spend several days” to focus on “quality, including inspecting some undelivered airplanes for a potential nonconformance prior to delivery.”
“This past Thursday, a supplier notified us of a nonconformance in some 737 fuselages. I want to thank an employee at the supplier who flagged to his manager that two holes may not have been drilled exactly to our requirements,” Deal said.
