Dreamliner Still A Disaster‏

Well, we are quickly coming up on the 4th anniversary of the Dreamliner being rolled out (to great fanfare) in July 2007.

So how is the tribute to outsourcing coming alone?

Lets take a look.

While Boeing may meet its deadline to deliver the first 787 to All Nippon Airways of Japan before Sept. 30, the production pace projected for 2011 appears out of reach.

"It isn't going to happen," said one mechanic working on the airplanes. "There are too many jobs to be done." (Still too many jobs 4 years later....EMBARRASSING......)

One job taking weeks per airplane is the painstaking removal of sealant from the interior of fuel tanks in the wings, then resealing them.

because the computerized system that provides mechanics with data on parts isn't operating well, even simpler modifications take much longer than they should. (Is that the computer system that was programmed in India? I bet it was.)

Managers last week held all-hands meetings aimed at galvanizing the work force. (Trying to cheer up the American workforce who they sh*t all over for the past decade. They layed them off. They shipped their jobs overseas. They cut their benefits. Now they want to pat them on the back so they bail their azz out. Hip Hip Hooray for Boeing. Everyone show us those smiles. Who loves working at Boeing.......)

planes await thousands of incomplete assembly jobs and modifications necessary because of design changes since they were built. (Since they were f*cked up overseas)

"Nothing we've seen ... is raising red flags for us," (HAHAHAHA..... maybe they should open their eyes.)

"The assembly process is still a mess," an engineer said.

"They are building airplanes in the final-assembly process that then have to be rebuilt in the pickup process, which is many times longer." (My stomach hurts from laughing so hard while reading this. Cracks me up every time)

Parts that don't fit, including doors and control surfaces on the wings, still are arriving in Everett. (Still arriving wrong 4 years later HAHAHAHAHA f*cken outsourcing...... )

"The wings on the 787s aren't even close to being ready," the engineer said. (Aren't even close....HAHAHAHA Oh it hurts so much..... I can't breathe while reading this. HEE HEE HEE, I do love this sh*t. This story is funnier then most stand up comics I have seen)

The latest airplanes rolled out to the flight line from the factory with about 1,600 jobs incomplete. (Oh is that all.........)

"They are just digging the hole deeper every time they send one out with that many jobs on it,"
"Our mechanics are doing a great job," (He meant "Our AMERICAN Mechanics are doing a great job bailing out our offshore debacle)

At the root of the issue, she said, are "elements of both workmanship and design." (Outsourcing)

She added that this is "not a new discovery" and already was factored into the last schedule revision in December. (That is true it is not a new discovery. It was discovered 4 years ago that outsourcing the dreamliner was the biggest corporate f*ckup in the history of corporate America. That decision makes New Coke look like a brilliant idea).

Boeing has been hiring mechanics steadily to beef up its work force and by the summer plans to have 1,200 people working at the ATS hangar, (First they lay them off. Then it gets all f*cked up. Now they hire them back as fast as they can. So was it worth it?????? Dipsh*ts! )
