While I'd hate to see an American icon die, I'd love to see Boeing pay an even bigger price then it already has for outsourcing jobs.

Sounds like they're learning their lesson the hard way there.

787 "fleet".......... Thats a bit of a stretch on the use of the word.


After all of their outsourcing, I as well have zero sympathy for them.

they will. when the 787n hits moderate turbulence and it breaks up and or has some type of structural failure due to design flaw and outsourcing-- all to save .0000000000000000000000000001 gallons per hour AND .04 cents per hour labor

now i truly get what the military guys/girls go thru--- realizing everything they have is built by the cheapest contractor--- UGH

Plastic junk born by corporate America's penny pinching wingnuts. And now at the expense of safety and possible human lives. Watch this engineering disaster unfold in the years to come.

Great explanation by the writter:

"The stabilizer is on the tail and keeps planes steady in flight."

Are you kidding me?
