Alaska Airlines resumed flying the Boeing 737 Max 9 jets, three weeks after a door plug blew off one of its planes, forcing the grounding of the entire fleet. The planes are gradually being returned to service as inspections are completed. United Airlines is expected to fly its Max 9s again by Sunday. NBC News’ Tom Costello reports.

dont think FAA may use usual protocol to recheck Max 8 reliability and safety since its repetitious incident that had took so many lifes and oftenly experience risky flight.Special commitee are needed to recheck max 8 throughly cause current team of quality control might inadequate to detail check max 9.
had done recheck 65 plane in one week ? hmm too fast i guess.max9 is too bad to just use usual quality control.
No thanks, unless I'm a cat with a max of 9 lives.
It takes 10 hours for the maintenance to go over the thing with a fine tooth comb?!?!?!?! 😮 10 HOURS!!! Bless them 😌
I’d never be comfortable on a boeing plane.
Were there any passengers on board?😅
You would think they’d wait for the NTSB to complete their investigation before putting these planes back in service. Better to be safe than sorry.
God bless 😂
I LOVE Alaska airlines! I trust them that they made sure everything is ok now
Wait til one just breaks up mid air
Ever since Boeing bought McDonald Douglas. Company has gone downhill because you can’t have a ceo and board of directors on the other side of the country. And then have all the workers in Seattle and California.
Yeah, because the FAA doesn’t care about you!
European made planes prove yet again to be safer!!! This is why the US has a grudge against Airbus!!
Good luck 🤞
No I think it is premature. The FAA is still inspecting procedures at the Boeing plant. I’m surprised this was allowed to happen. Yes these might be isolated issues with a small batch of planes but come on Boeing needs to rebuild its image asap. All the goodwill after the Max MCAS crashes will be destroyed if another incident occurs. But I still have some faith and hope that these are just isolated cases. But overall Boeing needs a change in management, give them all a standard refresher course in business ethics and quality control and put the real engineers in charge not the ones who skip to the front just doing MBA’s.
I hope they verified that the wings are bolted on.
2024 new fear unlock ( No more flying for me at least NOT on Boeing plane ) way too many warming and red flag
it'll be grounded again before the year end
If it's Boeing i ain't going !
Fu** that.
What could be next after this?
This is what we will continue to get if we continue to allow hiring of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Over things like skills, experience, and work ethic.
I will never step inside a max anymore.
The title of the video is a bit clumsy. Generally, the term "midair" is reserved for a collision of some sort (drone, other aircraft, etc.). To sound more like you know what you're talking about, the term "inflight" should be used in place of "midair". For example, you will frequently hear airline personnel refer to an "inflight shut down" when pilots have to shut down an engine during a flight, they would never say "midair shut down".
The 737 max is a death trap. It’s a hodgepodge of Jerry rigging. It should quite honestly not exist. Just wait. Sooner or later something else is gonna happen. Right now the deicer issue will cause the engine cowling to shatter and slice through the cabin. The pilots have to carefully check that anytime is used. If it gets used for more than five minutes. It has the risk of blowing the engine, cowling apart and slicing through the cabin and then having a disabled engine. 737 Max is the Yugo of the sky.
If it's Boeing, I AINT goin'!
The business of the USA is Business, so the country will do anything to help corporations.
If passengers were sitting in the seats next to the door plug when it flew off they would have been sucked out of the plane. It was by luck those seats happen to be empty when the door plug flew off the plane in mid air.
The news guy is pointing at the wrong things. It’s just four bolts that stop the door from sliding up in its tracks. Not very thick bolts, as they don’t experience a lot of force.
after finding all the loose bolts, yet
Dont believe
Before it was the software, this time the doors, next time is what? engine falling off? the wings is falling off?
Anyone that gets one one of these is nuts……
Just because it flies doesn’t mean it should.
This is what happens when you value diversity over experience
Cancelled my daughters flight when i heard it was a Boeing. "It's not the same plane" they told me. I don't care, if it's a Boeing, we stay on the ground, where the plane should stay too.
boeing/ faa say these planes are now safe ,just because they,ve inspected the door plugs , so whats going to fall off next , landing gear???? an engine or two?? a control surface or two?? and the faa have only been woken up into action because of a second round of failures so they are not at all pro active only re active . they both dont deserve any trust! i also dont beleive for a second that it takes 10 hours labour to inspect a door frame and plug ,,how many coffee breaks is that in between removing interior trim, thats corporate b/s paving the way to excuse why these inspections have not been done pro actively "takes too long costs too much wed have to charge the flying public more , so we didnt do it for you"
Suddenly they have so many incidents.
It always makes me wonder why this poorly designed jet is still being used.
