facthunter Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 That's just bad Maintenance. You have to tighten the wheel nuts up. The 777 is before the decline. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetrack Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 This reminds me of November 1942, when 17 new Kittyhawks arrived at Brisbane, and were then assembled and flown to Darwin with apparently inadequate checks for assembly faults.

What hope have they got of bringing back some decent build quality, when the new CEO is a total "dollar watcher" without a shred of engineering skills, manufacturing skills, or any skills associated with company morale repair?
