Boeing's 787 Dreamliner OUCH!

[expat]

Another detail that should be noted is that the battery that is having issues on the 787 is not actually built by Boeing, but rather a Japanese company.

That goes for the vast majority of aircraft and the components. Boeing, like others only built the main structure. Any part that has been bolted/screwed/hung onto the structure is more than likely third party and..................The cheapest of three bids......

[quote]It may be that boeing is not being dishonest in there claims of quality over
quantity. I meen, come on, they're not murders and they sure as hell don't want
to loose all they've worked for all these years.

I think they need to take a long hard look at the workers on the line. like they say
"Your Only As Good As Your Weakest Link"

If you are not 110% obsessed with your own quality and workmanship, then you
have NO damn business being on the any aircraft production line.

The only other production line I can think of that's this important is submarines. No
room for error! Why do submarines have a much better safety record? because the
line workers are military trained to be obsessed with there own quality and workman-
ship

They can weed out alot of these week links by focusing on the outside contractors.
I think that's a huge problem.
