This time it's the 737 MAX 9. Thankfully, miraculously, there were no deaths. What do you think of Boeing? https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/06/boeing-737-max-9-grounding-after-alaska-airlines-door-blows-midflight.html
Boeing is a Case Study in what happens to an organization and culture when the bean counters (accountants, MBA types) take over and the Engineers are marginalized. No doubt, the MBA types writing the Case Study will scramble to find another characterization that points the blame somewhere else.
Boeing must double down on DEI. I bet those aircrafts weren’t woke enough.
This is what happens when you let Wall Street replace the engineers in a company with MBAs.
Sad that a company with such a prestigious tradition has lost its reputation.
I’m curious whether it’s a Boeing problem (since there have been previous 737 MAX problems) or an Alaska maintenance problem (since they have had maintenance problems in the past).
From what I've read, that particular plane is nearly brand-new, delivered in Oct '23. The blowout happened at an optional exit door that Alaska didn't option for, so it should have been sealed/locked forever. The interior was a normal sidewall, so no one would ever see anything different. Clearly something disengaged or blew out the door. Likely a factory issue. There would have been nothing for Alaska to do or service with that door.
Yes exactly what Gmop12 has stated. So it's most likely a Boeing issue. It will be very interesting to learn more details.

Saw this coming from a mile away.
Didn't some software written by outsource contractor cause a nose dive the last time ???
I like how the FAA called a giant hole in the side of the plane a "pressurization issue."
Does anyone know what happened to the part that blew off? Have they found it?
