"Boeing Discovers Fuselage Issues in 737 Jets Amid Manufacturing Problems"

TL;DR
Boeing has reported a manufacturing issue with the fuselages on its 737 jets, potentially delaying deliveries of about 50 aircraft. The problem, involving misdrilled holes in the fuselages, was discovered by a worker at supplier Spirit AeroSystems. This comes amid intense scrutiny over the quality of work, following an emergency landing of an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 due to a blown-out door plug. The NTSB and FAA are investigating, and Boeing has withdrawn a safety exemption request for a new 737 Max model.
