Wonder if any of those were written by employees that left tools and debris in KC-46 compartments that got sealed up.

Boeing clearly has a basketful of problems at the moment. IMO, it usually all starts at the top.

Is this the same contract that Airbus initially won but then lost to Boeing through some crazy backhand/backchannel contractual maneuvering scheme?

This may have some bearing on the problem. An engineer driven firm taken over by a bean counter driven firm.

If two third world airlines had proper pilot standards Boeing wouldn't be a story.

Same contract, yes.

"Crazy backhand/backchannel contractual maneuvering scheme?" No. Did you read that on the same site that confirms chemtrails are a nefarious government plot?

Boeing won the old fashioned way. They beat EADS on price with an aircraft more suited to the actual USAF requirements. Tricky that, eh?

Of course, you don't believe that. Here, read this: https://www.forbes.com/sites/beltway/2011/02/28/how-boeing-won-the-tanker-war/#6816e56c3d49

TLDR?

Here, cut to the chase:

Quote
We'll have to wait a while to learn why EADS failed to price its tanker competitively. The one thing we know for sure is that the real-world costs of the rival tankers weren't even close, because EADS lost even though evaluators gave the company big breaks in calculating the cost of owning its plane. In other words, the Boeing tanker won on merit, and no protest of the outcome by EADS is going to change that fact.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

The very simple truth of the matter.

The agreed theme is that there is a break down in multiple processes. The sad bit about it is it's all preventable with the right training and having employees that will walk the line with standards and SOPs.

One kink in the chain and the chain fails because of that one single point of failure.

This is in regards to Boeings assembly lines, boeings standards and foreign airline standards.

As has been proven in this thread, each suffered a break down in standards and now the consequences fall on one.

blame them two stupid pilots for all the crap Boeing is facing now that has nothing to do with the crashes.

seen this a few times since the 80s, put profits ahead of what is right and eventually you will go down.

That's right.  If third world airlines would stop placing profits ahead of what is right they would have proper training, personnel standards, and equipment.  In this case two airliners went down and killed a lot of people because of incompetent crews, poor regulatory oversight, and greedy airlines that place safety as anything-but a priority.
