As the investigation continues into why a door plug blew out of a Boeing 737 Max 9 mid-flight, both United and Alaska Airlines say they’ve found loose bolts and hardware in more grounded Max 9 planes. Boeing’s CEO said to employees, “We have to do better.” NBC News’ Tom Costello has the latest.

But hey Alaskan Airlines is about hiring for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusio. That's what counts right?
I tell you how it happened , aircraft was looked after by dei employee
What's about other max ?
7 ….8 ….
They need to be all checked
From my side I boycott all 737 when choose flight tickets….
Never again
I don't know what is happening at Boeing. It's like they are sabotaging their own company.
Thanks for the warning. 😂
More loose parts on airplanes than Jokin Joey Bidens brain.
If it's a Boeing, I ain't going
There is no pride and effort in doing anything right in this country anymore, just a bunch of loud mouths with attitudes in the work force and experts in coming up with excuses when the job is not done right.
Didnt the US just force Airline CEO's to care more about Diverse hiring instead of safety? They literally put an incentive on it so they make more money if they focus on the DEI instead of performing the best safety inspections.
Oh boy. Boeing is in for a shnitstorm
The CEOs an shareholders don't care about their 2nd class jet's, they fly first class on their $70 millions dollars jet's with their own certify inspectors and weekly inspections and with their golden parachutes,
Besides they have their clunkers jets insured to the max for increased profits from crashes and bolts coming loose.
Diversity in action.
Wow I guess I won't be flying with united in March
This is a new plane, so it probably has nothing to do with the UK fake plane parts scandal.
Still, it's crazy that so little news is covering that case. A UK company is selling plane parts with fake documents to planes all over the world.
POTMETAL??? 😂😂😂 Where are the "missing flight recorder comments " 😮 somebody didn't use a torque wrench?? Or check off they torqued it, sloppy.
What other models of Boeing Aircraft use plugs for future doors
Diversity hires
This is criminal already. Shame on you Boeing.
Scrap this program!
It is obvious that Boeing prioritizes profit over quality.
When one door closes, another one opens…Boeing.
If it’s Boeing…. I ain’t going
MAXimize the profits amirite?!
Yet another nail in the coffin
It started in 2014. That's when Boeing decided to focus on investor returns rather than quality and innovation. They began laying off their senior design engineers, their senior quality engineers and their senior purchasing agents, (buyers). Each of these disciplines are crucial to quality built products at a fair price.
Why did they do this? They were doing stock buy backs at the time and wanted cash and investor returns more than they wanted to maintain that Boeing reputation for quality.
Boeing dumped their older, experienced, higher paid staff in exchange for straight out of college, inexperienced, low wage employees. It isn't just those of us who got laid off who have suffered for Boeing's greed. The hundreds of people who have died in Boeing aircraft since 2014 are the very real victims of Boeing's desire for profits over quality and safety.
If it’s a Boeing it ain’t going
I gotta look at my portfolio, I hope I don't own any Boeing stock.
I noticed the seats are better than the doors.and by the reading materials that stayed in place.except the one seat by the door.😳I think someone got sucked out.but they wouldn't cover that up…would they?LOL🪕
I think that all the Boeing planes should undergo serious inspections. Otherwise these are flying tombs that will continue to have similar incidents.
The New America…
PROFIT OVER SAFETY! BOEING SLOGAN
Well done that's an Auto Door opened
Stop flying Boeing. They apparently don’t care about your safety.
Boeing has outsourced the fitting of its aircraft interior components to contractors in China. I am wondering if the bolts in question had to be loosened and / or removed then reinstalled during the fitting of interior components. If so, could the cotter pins in the bolts' castle nuts have been omitted or improperly reinstalled during / after the installation of interior components? The oursourcing was done to cut production costs. Cheaper labor was one of the cost cutting goals. I believe outsourcing may have led to insufficient quality control measures.
COMPETENCY CRISIS DUE TO DIVERSITY HIRING POLICIES.
— END ANTI WHITE RACISM —
Seems to me that the MAX airframes are delivered to airlines half-baked, without proper QA signoff. Are the airlines aware that they have signed up to beta testing?
Is this the same plane that crashed twice a few years ago because it nosedived?
Regulatory capture is a huge problem in this country. The FAA should have been ahead of this.
We are witnessing the demise of Boeing.
Every detail certainly did not matter for Boeing. That is, until it became inconvenient for them.
Airlines that stick with Boeing are master masterminding their own demise.
Why were bolts loose in the first place is the mystery
Actuary tables apparently don't include investigations after failure. Corporate statements are lies. Period. Anonymously ask the engineers. They'll tell you that the bean counters and sales gerbils bully them. GUARANTEED!!
I'm sorry, but this was intentional. Either a mechanic or someone at Boeing is loosening the bolts intentionally. It defies statistical reality that it occurs so regularly on certain planes owned by certain airlines. It's the Tylenol murders all over again.
