I watched a good part of the AJ documentary which is several years old. If the QA problems were an issue where is the pushback from the customers, the incidents logged with the FAA ? Given no hull loses or fatalities you can't really fault the safety record. Seems the customers keep buying and I don't recall seeing any reports relating to incidents due to plant side QA\QC.
Boeing opened the plants to Charleston to get as far away from the Seattle unions as they possibly could. You have to wonder if that comes into play here.
