I heard the same thing about Charleston from a European airliner that is buying boeings.
The project managers wished their airplane wouldn't be assembled there, because that causes a whole bunch of extra problems.
There were plenty of rumours going around of what was happening at that plant. The quality difference was definitely there, and I'm surprised not more airlines requested that. Maybe they did bit it was behind closed doors.
- bb101 7y agoIt would appear QANTAS doesn't have any ex-Charleston 787s either. Couldn't say whether it's intentional.
- senderista 7y agoYou might not be aware of it, but Boeing moved production to Charleston to break the unions here in WA state. Just like they moved corporate HQ to Illinois to dodge taxes. These myopic greedy decisions are finally backfiring on them, and they richly deserve it.
