Boeing 787: safety problems?

[HardDrive]

Does an aircraft having production problems make it unsafe? No. In fact thats what makes it safe. That painful process that Boeing went through is how our aviation industry assures safety.

The source of the news is not relevant. Both you and the lowbrow piece of journalism you have posted here are wrong based on facts. I don't see why you are defending the article.

The recordings come specifically from the South Carolina plant. One employees specifically mentions that he thinks quality in the Washington plants is better because of the union. If you had any knowledge of the acrimonious relationship between Boeing and the unions in WA, you might be able to see the piece for what it is: Union propaganda.

Looks like Al Jazeera pulled the story. Tried punk's link, it came up as not found, searched Al Jazeera for "787" and it didn't come up. Apparently they do have some shame, or some standards. Unlike the OP.

Sorry, punkercock (or whatever the hell you answer to), but your reputation on this site is pretty well sealed. Continuing to post mindless drivel like this, that you apparently take seriously, does nothing to help your cause.

I believe Mitsubishi makes the wing, not the Chinese.
