    Shocker that quality took a dive when Boeing stopped using North American labour to build their planes in favour of developing countries.

      Lol what? The merger with the McDonnell Douglas Corporation (defense contractor) and continued focus on cheaping out on R&D costs, especially safety related tests, while maximizing investor payouts has way more to do with the quality of their planes than where they’re manufactured.

        No, Quality was when the wing struts were made in Canada with a single, massive CNC mill. Not in a developing country by near-slave labour.

      I didn’t think you could have a racist take on Boeing’s sudden drop in quality and yet liberals will always find a way.
