Boeing's Lost Bolts Reveals an Even Larger Leadership Crisis for America

There was a time when any aircraft Boeing built was a flying example of American innovation, excellence, and aviation dominance. They were the cornerstone of a multi-billion dollar sector of our nation's economy.
Shockingly, that is no longer the case, as they suffer a series of issues with the latest news that crucial bolts were never replaced in a 737 MAX 9 from which a door plug blew off in mid-flight.
While the issue of safety is paramount, Boeing's apparent loss of manufacturing quality control has the means to deprive the United States of global leadership in this crucial arena. And Boeing's airliner woes are not their only issue. Their military contracts are also facing problems, in the form of the much troubled KC-46 tanker.
