Oh dear

I think the industry (if not Boeing) had hoped that this type of skin problem (associated with the manufacturing process) was just limited to aircraft of 737 classic vintage.

Following recent recent crown skin damage on Southwest 737s (and others), the airframe life has been decreased.

If this now starts to occur on the 757, there really isn't much out there to fill the hole - not yet at least
