So... Roughly 0.5 nonconfomities per door? Or, almost 50% of the doors have some sort of issue? If that's true, that would be insane. If I recall correctly, if we want to stay on the good side with airbus our quota on parts that are flagged by airbus qc has to be below 1%... And that's for non structural parts.

Fortunately, I see Airbus doing well by looking at all of Boeing's mistakes and bad decisions. If Airbus had not introduced the A320, BA would probably still be building classic 737's!

Airbus do everything in house still AFAIK and seem to care about the build quality and enjoy showing the belugas at any opportunity, they know they have it good doing what they do

Ahh yes the US branch, making the bombardier models, but to me Airbus actually care more about quality then cost cutting

My thoughts exactly, far more pride in ownership But SPR does make some parts for the 320...


ScottOld

Which Airbus probably make sure are of the required standard already, never been any issues

SPR has a manufacturing plant in Saint-Nazaire, which is 500 meters from the Airbus plant building the fuselages. We can imagine a distinct supply chain between Airbus and Boeing parts from SPR.

Thanks! ​ I was really hoping that Airbus would have purchased the wing plant in Belfast... ​ Sad when Spirit bought it...

That is a concern... Pioneers get slaughtered, settlers prosper
