50

Boeing discovered another problem in some of its 737 fuselages that may delay deliveries of about 50 aircraft in the latest quality gaffe to plague the manufacturer.

Improperly drilled holes were discovered by Spirit AeroSystems, a major supplier that provides Boeing with fuselages, according to a letter from Stan Deal, CEO of Boeing's commercial airplanes division.

man I dont think we're ever gonna stop hearing about the 737, might as well just nationalize boeing at this point so that maybe the next plane doesn't spontaneously combust because they decided it would save 20$ per fuselage to use self-igniting sealant around the door frames or some shit like that.

Un-fun fact: Boeing is primarily a military materials company.

Boeing is more likely to get bailed out and have money thrown at them than nationalized. That's how we do business in the US of A.
