Boeing knowingly building flawed aircraft?

This is a big breaking story on Sky News in the UK.

My dilemma is, I am due to fly on a Boeing 737-800 tomorrow. Seeing as none have come down yet, I think I'll risk it.

While its an interesting article, its really not in Boeing's best interest to accept sub-standard parts from a supplier.


If 2 or 3 737s fell out of the sky and this was discovered, the repercussions for the company would be dire... at best.


The Airbus A350 problems would be totally insignificant in comparison.

anyone else see this on sky last night where they said that the judge that will reviewing this case was 99 years old
