The FAA’s enhanced maintenance process will require “an inspection of specific bolts, guide tracks and fittings” and “detailed visual inspections of left and right mid-cabin exit door plugs” before being cleared for takeoff.

Who's doing the inspections? Quality control or Engineering staff?
More P8 Poseidons?
Don't know how this is good news for Boeing. They were already found to have basically misled the FAA on the MCAS system and the overall safety of the aircraft. Now the same two organizations are saying everything is okay, they solved the problem?
It seems ridiculous that after everything that has happened with the Max aircraft, they are doing these quick checks and everything is good. They just had the loose bolt inspections ordered by the FAA for the rudder system in December after an international carrier found a missing nut from a bolt in the rudder system, and Boeing found the same bolt / nut loose on an undelivered aircraft.
How are we supposed to take the word of either of them?
Okay thanks al international and community my family all brothers and sisters my family all amid and all international and community my family all USA the government my family all freedom and Democratic policies my family all palatine the government my family all west bank and Gaza all the government my family all freedom and Democratic policies my family all amid and all from Gaza and jeursalem and all al Aqsa and all company and all airlines and all also export and import my family all freedom and Democratic policies my family all also and human and all history and all food policies and gas and all trucks and Humanity and all my family all peace OK thanks
What is with all the hand motion?
So Boeing has bad designs now low QC yet ppl will still trust their planes??
If a car or an equipment has a terrible design flaws and bad quality y’all won’t even touch that thing. But y’all are willing to risk your lives just cause a CEO vows to do better lmao. Worse thing that could happen to them is to get “fired” with $10 million severance package😂
Dont trust them. Boeing products are all dangerous at this point.
cost cutting…. union workers forced to clock out just when they need to put bolts in?
That's OK then
As an avgeek, i assume many people still wanted to avoid the Boeing 737 MAX. As for me, i have never flown onboard the MAX and i am curious wanted to try to get onboard the MAX someday.
This boils down to two possibilities 1) Boeing opened the door for a new rubber seal and filed to put the locking bolts back.or 2) Alaskas WI-FI contractor in Oklahoma did the same thing. This question must be answered to close this case .
Soooo the "updated" MCAS system where it can control the plane out of the pilots control wasn't a big issue and now 4 … 1-2-3-4 bolts hold a pressurized cabin from keeping people from suffocating in the event that door goes off. How in the blue hell is plane SAFE TO OPERATE???? Time to trace some money because likely some payoffs to allow this unsafe piece of metal to be allowed to fly.
Which country is this?
The word nobody is saying is "SABOTAGE"
FAA telling people 737s are safe to board again is like a drug dealer saying coke is safe to use again after one of the users finds fentanyl in it.
I will still avoid the MAX and choose other aircraft when I have a choice.
