Alaska Airlines CEO: We found “many” loose bolts on our Max 9 planes following near-disaster — “My demand on Boeing is what are they going to do to improve their quality programs in-house.”::The CEO of Alaska Airlines said new inspections of the carrier’s Boeing 737 Max 9 planes revealed that “many” of the aircraft were found to have loose bolts.
Well nothing, few months pass by and they will be back grinding for as much money as possible
Yep. You cannot deny that Boeing is huge and basically a necessity on many levels. They will clean up their act, which is prudent, but this will all be behind us soon.
It’s Alaska Airlines. Isn’t this plane likely 15+ years old? Is Boeing directly involved in maintenance for the lifetime of the plane? Or, is this on Alaska Airlines, and they are shamelessly scapegoating because it’s opportunistic to kick Boeing lately?
The MAX series didn’t go on its first flight with a customer until 2017. These are practically brand new planes.
The one that ripped open while flying was only 3 months old.
The incident airplane was only 3 months out of the factory.
Oh, that’s pretty damning then. Just throwing half-assed planes out the door.
Yea this feels like Alaska trying to get ahead of bad press
