I'm amazed that 12 years after the first units were sold that Boeing continues to have production problems with the 787.
Why? In some cases, problems only become evident with time. In other cases, suppliers can have unexpected variance in materials leading to issues. This isn't an exclusively Boeing phenomenon. The good news is that the defect has been found and now they are assessing whether it constitutes a problem. This is the way it is supposed to work.
I’m less amazed. North Charleston.
Just a magnificent aircraft.

Repeating this mostly-irrelevant statement still doesn't make it so.
I accept that this person is amazed.

Sorry for the double post, not sure why that happened. Not really irrelevant though, it’s pretty common for people to opine on the internet, and for people to disagree, as you have.
