Boeing Failed To Re-install And Inspect Door Plug On Alaska Airways' 737Boeing recently made another mess with regards to its 737 MAX aircraft.A door plug, used to cover the hole where some planes have additional emergency exits, blew out, while the Alaska Airways flight 1282 was still in the air.The plane decompressed but made a safe landing in Portland.I concluded:

One hopes that the FAA and Congress will finally get serious with Boeing. They must stop giving it all those lazy exceptions for issues that better (but more expensive) engineering can easily solve.

The question left open was who was responsible for the missing bolts that were supposed to hold the door plug in place but could not be found on the damaged plane. The 737 MAX 9  hulls are build by Spirit AeroSystems in Wichita, Kansas and then send to Boeing to be fitted out. There is usually no good reason to remove the door plug for the outfitting of the plane.

This will become more and more common place in the West

as diversity and ***-wokism controls hiring and advancement

even in STEM heavy fields.

The *** CEO....has an accounting degree.    
 

DEI hiring is making the world unsafe.
