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.

    There are plenty of “old ass” Airbus planes out there. And it’s not like Airbus planes never crash.

      Sorry, you’re not going to convince me to get on a Boeing. My airport only has 37s and maxes, so it’s not like I have a choice in which Boeing I use
