Boeing Co said on Sunday it will have to do more work on about 50 undelivered 737 Max airplanes, potentially delaying near-term deliveries, after its supplier Spirit AeroSystems discovered two mis-drilled holes on some fuselages.

Boeing confirmed the findings in response to a Reuters query after industry sources said a spacing problem had been discovered in holes drilled on a window frame, but the jetmaker said safety was unaffected and existing 737s could keep flying.

    I’m not flying period unless it’s an emergency or there’s no other practical way to get where I’m going.

    Otherwise I’ll just drive.

    Unsafeness of Boeings aside, it’s overpriced, loud, uncomfortable, and just generally an unpleasant experience. I don’t love being in a car, but at least I can do things like move my arm more than two inches to the right or just get out and stretch my legs for a few minutes.

      I’ve been riding the train as often as it’s available and I find it far more enjoyable than either. I wish there were more routes
