At this point, if you told me that the Made in America logo on all the planes can be scratched off and it says Made in Myanmar underneath, I would absolutely not be surprised.
This one got at least Airbus and Spirit as well and it's quite possible that it's related to the CFM / AOG Technics debacle out of the UK last year.

If you're right that's a big pile of doo-doo that's gonna hit Boeing hard.
Damn, Boeing is really going to have to start offing a lot more whistleblowers.
Would this hot Boeing though or would that be tangential to GE whom actually builds the engines?
This seems to only affect the A220, if Airbus is to be believed.
I don't think that it's Myanmar here. Maybe China.

Made in America sourced from global parts.
