In this article:
WASHINGTON, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Boeing executives told staff on Tuesday that findings of loose bolts in airplanes were being treated as a "quality control issue" and checks are under way at Boeing and supplier Spirit Aerosystems, sources familiar with the matter said.
They also told staff in a series of meetings following the Alaska Airlines blowout that Boeing had told its own plants and those of its suppliers to ensure that any such problems are addressed and then check wider systems and processes, the sources said.
Boeing had no immediate comment. (Reporting by Valerie Insinna, Tim Hepher; Editing by Leslie Adler)
