the media has a habit of exaggerating and editorializing. Some loose bolts were found. But they were in place and secured. Loose doesn’t matter in that case.

Wrap it up boys! Case closed!

😂😂😂 right? I guess he’s got it all figured out.

Oh and our MX found more than just “loose bolts that were secure”.

how many cycles for a loose bolt to become a missing bolt?

zero if they have the pin. See you all have no idea what you are talking about.

Media is saying 4 bolts secure the plug. Well, is a little over 80 bolts. The 4 in question keep the door in place where it is secured by the other 80 something bolts. Engineering is hard.

If only you were as right about this as you are arrogant.
There was more found to be wrong with the plugs than what you are saying. I Don’t watch the news, don’t know what they are saying, it’s usually wrong.

A search on our MX website directly contradicts what you are saying.

We at SWAPA have a lawsuit filed against Boeing for lost income already. It’s been filed for about two years now.

They could settle eventually and you will be paid. It’s all about litigation and the biggest law firm. Boeing has more cheddar than swapa.

Have you ever been sued or divorced ?

I can say the same thing about you. The stuff they are finding is minor. Just because something is loose or needs adjusting doesn’t mean the plug is going to fly off. The reason things are adjustable is because they can and need to be adjusted.
