Spirit Aerosystems also does work for Airbus.
- lamontcg 3y ago"Our business depends largely on sales of components for a single aircraft program, the B737 MAX" -- Spirit Aerosystems 2022 10-K filing They do 3 times as much business with Boeing than Airbus. (Airbus may also wrap Spirit in their own Q/A process to mitigate the issues, which Boeing is certainly lacking)
- lamontcg 3y agoAlso this article just hit the front page today: https://viewfromthewing.com/boeing-whistleblower-production-line-has-enormous-volume-of-defects-bolts-on-max-9-werent-installed/ https://viewfromthewing.com/boeing-whistleblower-production-... The worry is that Airbus is ALSO going to be affected by this shitty quality, not that Boeing isn't totally fucked by its outsourcing to Spirit Aerosystems.
