'Boeing's 787 "Dreamliner" is manufactured far from the company's Seattle
facility, in a non-union shop in Charleston, South Carolina. At that shop,
there is a cage full of defective parts that have been pulled from production
because they are not airworthy.
Hundreds of parts from that Material Review Segregation Area (MRSA) were
secretly pulled from that cage and installed on aircraft that are currently
plying the world's skies. Among them, sections 47/48 of a 787 – the last four
rows of the plane, along with its galley and rear toilets. As Moe Tkacik writes
in her excellent piece on Boeing's lethally corrupt culture of financialization
and whistleblower intimidation, this is a big ass chunk of an airplane, and
there's no way it could go missing from the MRSA cage without a lot of people
knowing about it:

More: MRSA parts are prominently emblazoned with red marks denoting them as
defective and unsafe. For a plane to escape Boeing's production line and find
its way to a civilian airport near you with these defective parts installed,
many people will have to see and ignore this literal red flag.'
