.....and another one. Of course the plane is 34 years old, but that doesn't change the headline.

Missing emergency slide that fell off Delta flight found — washed up in front of house of lawyer whose firm is suing Boeing

I have a hard time seeing this as a manufacturing defect.
And the hits just keep on a comin'
Boeing 787 employees falsified inspection records; FAA opens probe
The FAA has opened a new investigation into a potential manufacturing quality lapse on Boeing's 787 Dreamliner and whether inspection records were falsified.www.seattletimes.com
Wow. An engine fire on a 747-400, and they're calling out the manufacturer?Next up, engine fire.
Watch: Boeing makes emergency landing after engine fire
A Boeing passenger plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Indonesia after an engine caught fire during take-off.www.aol.com
The way I read it, Boeing has already implemented the fix on affected aircraft.Okay, this isn't really breaking, exclusive news...there's been a NPRM for an AD for about two months now and the Daily Mail just discovered it. Don't know if an AD has been published yet. Perhaps a bit of over-hyping from the press on this one?
300 Boeing planes could have potentially fatal fault
The FAA warned Boeing that improper electrical grounding on its 777 could result in 'fire or explosion' mere months, according to a notice first reported by DailyMail.comwww.dailymail.co.uk
Reading that, I have to ask myself why the pilot flying didn’t abort the takeoff.Auto throttle disengaged on takeoff
'Serious' software glitch meant plane taking off from Bristol barely cleared the runway
The jet - carrying 163 passengers and six crew members, only managed to take to the sky with 260m (853ft) of runway remaining, and passed over the nearby A38 at a height of under 30m (100ft).news.sky.com
Boeing told investigators that the auto-throttle system on their 737 Next Generation jets had a "long history of nuisance disconnects during take-off mode engagements" - but that, when investigated, "usually, subsequent functionality checks on the system find no faults".
Instead of "Oh look, there it goes again, I got it."Prolly listen to the CVR and hear one of the pilots say, "what's it doing now?"

No need to abort. Just set takeoff thrust, like you're supposed to do.Reading that, I have to ask myself why the pilot flying didn’t abort the takeoff.
Phony Chinese titanium bought by Turkish Aerospace Industries; distributed to multiple secondary aviation parts suppliers, whose components were bought by Spirit.I think it’s pretty safe to say we’re well past the first second or third very concerning thing.
Let's hope this is some of the fallout from Boeing pulling Spirit Aerosystems back under its wing (pun intended). Except, Airbus apparently got duped as well, so, hmmm.It's almost as if spinning off Spirit wasn't the best idea after all.
Boeing accepts a plea deal to avoid a criminal trial over 737 Max crashes, Justice Department says
The Justice Department says Boeing has agreed to plead guilty to a criminal fraud charge stemming from two deadly crashes of 737 Max jetliners.apnews.com
Boeing pleads guilty to criminal charges
Yes, although if Boeing is willing to plead guilty, that just tells me they do not fancy their chances at a trial. I doubt they are pleading out just to avoid a trial they think they can win (a move sometimes to avoid the spectacle and cost of a trial) considering this can have ramifications on their defense contracts.The judge still has to approve it, though, over objections from the families. Stay tuned.
How does a corporation go to prison?Yes, although if Boeing is willing to plead guilty, that just tells me they do not fancy their chances at a trial.

My guess is either way, Boeing comes out of this guilty of criminal charges. Boeing is in heavy damage control mode.
That's the crux of the problem...they don't. They could lose their DoD contracts...except that the DoD is utterly dependent on them and BA's guaranteed a waiver.How does a corporation go to prison?
