Stole 33 739s instead! Have to hand it to our fleet folks, they know what they're doing.

At what point does the FAA stop putting up with Boeing's act? Does Boeing really have that much clout with our politicians and their campaigns?

And apparently some planned stops due to FA duty time limits.

most junior awarded is a April 2000 NW hire, the most junior DL hire is June 2001

The plug WB CA About 75 numbers away from a 2007 DL hire.

It appears someone did not put some or all of the fasteners holding the plug. It's a error but probably a one off. Mistakes get made. Imagine if the FAA decided to really jump on Delta for some recent errors. Our self induced brake fire comes to mind.

But that error should have been caught.

Missing fasteners should have been caught by the Quality Assurance inspector. But this has been the general theme with Boeing as of late with poor QA, poor tool management, poor manufacturing processes. We won't even discuss their **** poor engineering.

*yet you are - my appoligies for the non-technical truncated description, I assumed we were on the same page
I draw circles. Bermuda, ORF, and a few others.
