Now if only they can stop the 787 engines from falling apart, fix the delamination of the carbon fiber, bring production standards up (not down), aaand get the KC-46 going....

I should say the MAX is a good aeroplane...but that I feel has more to do with the fact that its a 737.

If its Boeing (787) Im NOT going!

As most know, I work on 737's and if the quality of the MAX is anything like the quality of new 737's that are being delivered, then Boeing should start with the entire quality assurance department before they start looking for 2500 employees to fire. As an end user, right now, warranty items area a licence to print money. You do not want to know how much money the company I work for gets back on warranty claims . Also, there are problems arising on brand new aircraft that are almost being regarded as "standard fit" that arrive with the aircraft. Support from Boeing is one of non interest...............

I know it's not nice to think about but, do you think it will take a body count situation to get there attention before they wake up to the fact that they need to change this.

Unfortunately that is the only thing that will change it.
The Boeing today is NOT the Boeing of history....today its run by a board with their heads shoved up each other's rears.

If it's as much as you are suggesting, then who pays for it, Boeing?

Yes, Boeing pay for warranty claims.

Which obviously cost's more for them than keeping it in house, but the up side is it keeps you and others in a job.

My FBW incident wasn't in an aircraft but a power wheelchair but the principal is the same.
