Misdrilled holes in the fuselage aren’t really a safety concern, they are a personnel concern tho. Sometimes you fuck up and have to eat shit, hopefully before you fuck up 50 fucking jets.

Yeah I don’t really buy that it is not a safety thing. Like I know it depends a bit on where the hole is and what it is for. Regardless I don’t like the wrong holes in pressure vessels that is just not good for things having to do with safety pressurizing the fuselage.

Without knowing specific locations it’s hard to say exactly, but it likely wouldn’t keep me out of the airplane. They pressure test them, so that’s at least verified.

Yeah they pressure tested the Max 9s before delivery and we can see how well that worked out…

No worries - so long as they don’t forget all the rivets in integration the fuselage won’t split in half. They’d have to forget way more than four fasteners lol
