most important plant, the one that gets the most attention when it comes to spirit aerosystems is in wichitakansas. that's where they build the 737 max fuselage. boeing wanted to buy that plant and all of spirit so it has better quality controls because so many of the problems that have hurt boeing over the last couple years, many of them originated at the facilities in wichita, as well as the other spirit facilities. boeing now believes they can improve quality control as you take a look at shares of boeing and spirit. year to date, actually, over the last year, keep in mind that boeing is also assuming $3.5 billion of spirit aerosystems' debt, and the deal is expected to close in the middle of 2025. so, a so, about a year from now, which means a lot of people in the market will be pivoting to the next big story involving boeing, which is, who will replace dave calhoun, the ceo of boeing? he has already said he's resigning at the end of this year. a lot of focus will be on pat shanahan, the current ceo of spirit aerosystems, worked for many years, was a high-ranking executive, well regarded

. >> it's in wichita now. it will be acquired by boeing that means that boeing is essentially bringing in more control of its quality control. remember, quality control has been at the essence of the problems at boeing lately, there was the door plug blowout back on january 5th, the national transportation safety board said that boeing did not reinsert the door plug bolts on that 737 max nine that had that blowout on alaska airlines flight 12, 80 to the fuselage was built by spirit aerosystems and independent contract are affiliated with boeing. they essentially had a quality control problem on some rivets near the door plug and then the door plug was taken out at boeing, which led to this major omission at the boeing factory in renton in washington. so by boeing acquiring this company, it essentially brings it in house. it makes it so that boeing has more control here and the quality control has really been at the essence of all the issues at boeing pete man teen at reagan national airport. terrific reporting

so immediately following this action, we moved 13 inspection stations down to wichita. we ask -- demanded -- that spirit treat us as an inspection authority, treated like an faa ticket, so that not a single fuselage would leave that facility that was not in perfect condition to come to ours. that was a movement of roughly 200 inspection engineers to do that, and that it required probably at least that were double that from spirit, to help us man those stations, so they can learn what this process is. so i think that just because that is how big this effort has been for us, that is how we've done it. we then sent that message to every supplier, with respect to perfection of the product that they deliver to us, that they moved to our line in regular order. otherwise, we have launched a program on factory compliance, hygiene in the factory, pretty much everything. and i know the faa has paid an awful lot of attention to it. sen. johnson: yeah. once it leaves the factory, these are running for how many thousands of dollars? mr. calhoun: yeah. once you take it through each.
