Eh Boeing has been having issues delivering Air Force contracts already. They fucked up QC on KC-46s so bad that the air force was basically getting free planes after fines were levied. The Air Force is different than airlines in the fact they basically tear down the plane after receiving it to inspect it. They found all kinds of shit like fucking wrenches left in the wall. It's gotten so bad that Boeing announced they will no longer accept fixed price contracts from the military because they are that broken as a company and no longer able to manage anything.

“B company” ;) Similar story: Bombardier trains in Switzerland. The defects required Bombardier to not only fix, but deliver several extra trains for free.

Thought you were joking about the wrenches part but apparently it's true? https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2019/04/02/air-force-again-halts-kc-46-deliveries-after-more-debris-found/ https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2019/04/02...
