Crucial Quote<\/h2>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s not a clear indicator in the [airworthiness directive] which of the fleet of these type series are impacted,\u201d Mike Arnot, spokesperson for Cirium, told Forbes. But as the average number of seats is around 190 per plane, \u201cthat\u2019s more than 80,000 seats\u201d to inspect.<\/p>\n

Key Background<\/h2>\n

In its airworthiness directive, the FAA said it had received a report indicating that \u201ccertain track-mounted passenger seat assemblies were not correctly installed in the seat tracks\u201d and that incorrectly-installed seats \u201ccan disengage from the seat tracks if there is an increased load, turbulence, or emergency landing.\u201d <\/p>\n

Boeing\u2019s 737 MAX Problems<\/h2>\n

Less than two weeks ago, the FAA handed back authority<\/u> to Boeing to perform final safety signoffs of 737s off the factory line, nearly seven years after the privilege had been revoked following two MAX crashes\u2014Indonesia\u2019s Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302\u2014which resulted in 346 deaths. Those crashes were caused by a flawed automatic flight control software that repeatedly forced the plane\u2019s nose down based on faulty sensor data, leading to a worldwide grounding and mandatory retrofit of the Boeing 737 MAX fleet. \u201cWe worked hard to build this trust from the FAA, and we take this responsibility very seriously,\u201d Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said on the company\u2019s quarterly earnings call Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Big Number<\/h2>\n

$2.7 million. That\u2019s how much the FAA estimates the proposed inspections will cost airlines before any re-installation costs, based on an average cost of $85 to reassemble each of roughly 69 seats in 453 planes.<\/p>\n

Tangent<\/h2>\n

Boeing lost $280 million<\/u> in the second quarter\u2014and likely as much as $2.8 billion overall\u2014on its fixed-price government contract to build two new Air Force One presidential jets, which has been dogged by delays and rising costs. <\/p>\n
