They may get bigger.

Uh oh..............there goes the NON UNION ...SC.. Plant 🙂

It's not really a union or non-union issue. It's an issue of a program that has been mismanaged.

No chance design flaw?

No chance design flaw?

My guess would be a quality control issue that's easily rectified.

What exactly does SC have to do with this, Bears?....

The tails were made by union workers in WA and assembled by union workers in WA...

The stabs were made in Italy. Planes assembled in Everett WA (by union workers).

The aft barrel section is prepped in SC and frames/longerons installed as part of the prep. Gaps were improperly shimmed in Everett. So it seems that there's blame enough to go around.
