Boeing reported another problem with fuselages on its 737 jets that might delay deliveries of about 50 aircraft in the latest quality gaff to plague the manufacturer.

Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stan Deal said in a letter to Boeing staff seen Monday that a worker at its supplier discovered misdrilled holes in fuselages. Spirit AeroSystems, based in Wichita, Kansas, makes a large part of the fuselages on Boeing Max jets.

"While this potential condition is not an immediate safety issue and all 737s can continue operating safely”

I know they have contacts to respect, but out of safety, they should completely stop production and offer an alternative to honor their contracts.

What's crazy is this is after the many news articles over the past few months, and their commitment to safety.

Which means... Either they are doing a lot of changes and things creep through, or they've been lying.

Being in IT, the only analogy I can make is that when a software design is crappy, it doesn't matter how many bug fixes or vulnerability patches you add, it's still going not going to work properly.

You have to go back to the drawing board and apply good, proven design guidelines and restart from there.
