Actually Boeing has rogered up for their miscalculation and presumably won't make the same mistake with the 737 upgrade/replacement...

I'm annoyed because I dumped my lock-mart stock a few years ago when I started to get suspicious about the F-35 (good move)...but I hung onto Boeing because it looked like they were over the certification production ramp-up problems. I assumed once it started flying, it would be all good. I didn't think it would start to to rot from the inside-out on the line due to systemic quality issues. Hopefully it's just a few glitches that can ID'ed and fixed, and not indicative of more to come...
