Boeing reports new problem with 737 fuselages



Boeing said a worker at a company that supplies 737 fuselages had discovered two holes that might not have been drilled according to specifications. Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stan Deal said the finding was not an immediate safety issue and that all 737s can continue operating safety. But he said Boeing staff would “have to perform rework on about 50 undelivered planes.” NBC News’ Tom Costello reports.

  1. ANOTHER ONE BOEING?? WHAT'S NEXT. . . .DISASTER

  2. Will Boeing finally pull the plug on the 737 line for good and focus on the 797 rather?

  3. “It’s not an immediate flight issue. In a few years, it will be”

  4. Boeing should just rename themselves "problem"
    because that's all they are at this point
    Problem after problem after problem
    Doesn't get old with them.

  5. The "two holes" out of requirement will delay the shipments, but all shipped with the same fault does not affect the safety ? 😳

  6. LOL! Sure! Boeing and Spirit, who have a history of covering up dangerous defects say there's nothing to see here. Sure, I believe them. LOL!

  7. D.E.I standards are definitely up to spec, at least they care about whats important.

  8. It's looking like the windows vista of aircraft .

  9. Old news by a couple months, must have been a slow news day

  10. When they say "IT IS NOT AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY ISSUE", does that really mean, it may become an immediate safety issue over so many flights ??? I question the quality of planes manufactured today. In the past, flights left and arrived in one piece with not many issues. Today, we can no longer say that. We now hope and pray we will arrive at our destination, and once again at home with no surprises.

  11. I would fly in a Boeing but one 10 years old once they worked their teething issues out.

  12. Sooner or later one of these planes will crash if this continues with bad saftey culture.

  13. Boeing is getting exposed

  14. Boeing-safe means that problems are NEVER safety-relevant
    (unless 346 people die, or a door blows out, or an engine explodes,
    or who cares? Good luck finding another airplane manufacturer)

  15. i thought the title read phalange

  16. Rest assured I'm flying Airbus from now on lol.

  17. Getting to the point I want to know if I’m flying Boeing rather than the hotel has a pool.

  18. I will NEVR fly on any 737 aircraft period.

  19. Hands up everyone who believes Boeing? Err, no-one? Ah, you sir at the back. Oh, you were scratching your head.

  20. In order to improve build quality all new planes will be supplied flat packed with full assembly instructions 😂

  21. Boeing: soon to be a QC case-study in business schools around the world.

  22. Scrap the bloody thing it’s gonna be endless fgs

  23. CLICK BAIT!!! This is not NEWS! I heard about this days ago. Just your way of getting more views. Or are you that far behind in reporting?

  24. Spirit Aero is obviously the weakest link in an already questionable quality assurance program.

  25. One of only two major large passenger airframe manufacturers, and Airbus airframes have also been found dangerously lacking in recent investigations.
    I don't have any answers or solutions, just reminding you that both companies who hold up the commercial mass flight industry are looking shaky.

  26. Greedy company so sad to see.

  27. Boeing employees own all this. Unions again – harming honest citizens

  28. What a disaster. i wonder how much the executives' bonuses were last year.

  29. spirit made record profits

  30. I bet all those companies are in bed . All for money. That's the American way fake it till you get caught then call it fake news and blame everyone else….

  31. They own spirit, but they use two different QC systems

  32. Diversity hires are not the way forward. Hire skilled or face bankruptcy

  33. Where are the supervisors and or the people in charge

  34. At this point, if you're stupid enough to get on a Boeing plane, neither you nor your family should be allowed to sue if anything happens.

  35. Guess ill be picking airbus

  36. "Not an immediate..safety issue" thats a NO from me.

  37. Time to take my travel business to Amtrak.

  38. When you pinch Pennies, you get what you pay for.

  39. If you have shares of boeing, you should sell now, before they become totally worthless

  40. Boeing has fallen from the company that gave us things like the first stage of the Saturn V, B-17, B-52, 707, and 747 to this mess. Its just a pathetic shell of its former self. But I guess things like this happen when the MBAs and Beancounters (who rarely see past the next quarter) force the engineers from the boardroom and take over.

  41. Americans saftey under liberal leadership is non existent

  42. Hire some Germans 🇩🇪

  43. Boeing: Putting Profits Over People, just like every other company – oh yeah, except we're airplanes!

  44. Executive compensation thru the roof while their planes can't even fly…….
    Today's Korporate Klown Kulture……

  45. Turn em all into coke cans, I aint flying ever on one of these

  46. It is past time for Boeing to pay taxes.

  47. MBA's destroy companies for short term profits based on hyping stock prices
