I hope the build quality is better than the brand new 737-800's my the company I work for has taken delivery of. The latest batch of five, people jump out of windows, suddenly become ill and "I just have something to do" if checks and routine maintenance is required on them. Boeing really has QA problem at the movement. In the last months we have had three brand new aircraft, all with production serial numbers within one or two of each other. All have had the same problem on the same system on the same side of the aircraft, all in the same phase of flight. We have been chasing the problem and Boeing is clueless. We are now giving the aircraft back to the leasing company!

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
