No bolts, loose bolts, tools left in fuel tanks, trim pieces falling off of week old airplanes, engines melting off their pylons when the nacelle heat is left on (!), missed engineering targets on AF tankers, a couple of major crashes, the list goes on. Now is not the time to be letting Boeing off the hook for "minor" issues. Those little things might be (and likely are) covering up larger problems. Boeing needs to get their $h!t together and they've proven unequivocally that they can't be trusted to do it themselves. If they didn't want scrutiny from the feds or the media (deserved or not) there were multiple opportunities to fix their processes over the last several years. They failed to do so and are now finding about playing stupid games & winning stupid prizes.
