…As a result, this check job that should find minimal defects has in the past 365 calendar days recorded 392 nonconforming findings on 737 mid fuselage door installations >The Boeing QA writes another record in CMES (again, the correct venue) stating (with pictures) that Spirit has not actually reworked the discrepant rivets, they just painted over the defects. In Boeing production speak, this is a “process failure”. For an A&P mechanic at an airline, this would be called “federal crime”. Holy Shit. Whoever is directly and indirectly responsible needs to go to jail. Thats a level of malice which I don't remember eading very often in any kind of news.
