I'm seeing quite a few posts around the forum regarding China buying Airbus aircraft but not Boeing aircraft recently, so I thought this article might be interesting to some people:

Pull Quote: "One mechanic said they observed sub-standard manufacturing and testing of the planes, which resulted in wires being left exposed and debris such as rubbish, metal slivers and washers lodging itself inside various parts of the plane, which could lead to electrical short circuits or fires."

Overall, not a great look for Boeing. Although quite a few incidents reported seem to be minor, new product launch issues and not really anything systemic. That said, production and manufacturing issues like that you don't expect to see from Boeing. Not like that... if you went back 40 years the issues they're having now would be unheard of for any large company in the US.

Boeing management was more interested in stock buy backs and cutting “expenses” like unionized staffs to enrich themselves than quality control or product development

Lol... Building patrol boats for facing off with China, using Aluminum alloys from China. Australia have gone Jai Hind too! It was a good thing for China to ship poor quality material to those A-holes. To keep their new fleet of patrol boats in the harbour.

Next time, China should try feeding crap raw materials into the supply chain of Australia's SSN or missile construction program. (Its easier done than many would think). So that in an event of conflict, these things stay out of the fight.

Fat bi$ch can quite frankly drop himself off a building, anyone that tries to insulate that HK doesn’t belong to China and some how is still the property of the the UK, can go straight to hell and seriously enough, may the same collapse that is coming to the USA happen to the UK as well. Their long over due punishment for the crap they pulled during the colonial days along with all those ‘adventures’ in the Middle East couldn’t come soon enough, in fact may those HK rioters and those NGO freaks suffer with them

New York gun control law requires social media checks​

The legislation forces those seeking gun permits to submit their social media accounts to authorities

New York has adopted a sweeping gun control law aiming to ban firearms from a number of “sensitive areas,”including Times Square, also requiring social media checks for gun permit applicants to ensure their “character and conduct.”

This to me is the embodiment of what it means to be an American,” Hochul said of the law soon after it passed the state Senate, adding she would sign it “in honor of our Fourth of July weekend.”
