Re:Did a 1997 merger ruin Boeing? by rob74 on Friday January 12, 2024 @01:23AM (#38964638)
I would say even the 787 is a good plane, if it didn't have major build quality issues because of Boeing wanting to reduce manufacturing costs (it was initially built at two plants, Everett WA and North Charleston SC, and it got to a point when airlines only wanted to have 787s manufactured in Everett, but ultimately the production in Everett was discontinued). And now the same major build quality issues start popping up with the 737 MAX (whose fuselage is being manufactured by Spirit Aerosystems, which was originally a division of Boeing but was outsourced in 2005).
