no where it states if this is actually hazardous or not, if its a common thing which might happen to other vendors too or anything. just 'found some stuff which didn't pass the checks.' ok, thats what there are checks for..., good job... such reporting. just post some random piece of information about some buzzword or google trend without any background or context to put it in.


Have a listen to this: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/03/podcasts/the-daily/boeing...

Sharp debris in the airframe close to electrical wires and the very wires that control the airframe in planes that left the factory are not a theoretical risk. Imagine your airline gets a "quality controlled" factory new plane and you find they forgot a whole ladder (!) inside the hull — if this shouldn't raise concerns — what would?

Or must it crash first? Oh wait..

The software problem alone was bad, but combine this with a lack of effective oversight and a bad company culture and it looks far more bleak


The other good news is that the wire distances are not up to current standards in the MAX. So when one goes you have a better chance the other critical one also goes.
