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......

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.
BINGO! Very well said!
At WACO, we all are very much obsessed with our work. Yeah there are some different personalities, but we love what we do.
C,
yeah, I at first did not have the brackets but then thought of the Mossie and Lancaster...whoops!
