Boeing rejects claim of 'shoddy production' at Dreamliner factory
Boeing sharply denied published allegations Sunday that "shoddy production" and oversight at its North Charleston, South Carolina, factory threatens the safety of the company's long-haul 787. The report, published Saturday by The New York Times, comes as Boeing is the subject of multiple investigations into the certification process for the 737 Max series. Brad Zaback, site leader of the South Carolina facility and GM of Boeing's 787 program, said The Times distorted information and rehashed old stories "that have long ago been put to rest." Zaback said the company invited The Times to "visit Boeing South Carolina once they contacted us" but they declined. The Times said Sunday night that Boeing made its offer of a tour Friday and that the newspaper declined to delay Saturday's scheduled publication. <br/>
