But in the high density configuration that has a real emergency exit, not a plug.

I believe they may all be Max-8. The affected aircraft is Max-9.

Four bolts were missing from the panel that blew out of the Alaska Airlines B737, The US NTSB finds.

A shocking failure of manufacturing process, quality control, and regulatory oversight. Many heads should roll.

Re: Boeing 737 Planes Grounded

Seems they were removed after initial manufacture & fitting.

Quote:

The door plug was manufactured by Boeing's supplier Spirit AeroSystems, and originally installed in the fuselage before being delivered to the aerospace giant.

According to the preliminary report, this door plug was later removed in the factory due to damage that had occurred during the production process.

Photographic evidence suggests that when the plug was reinstalled, at least three of the four locking bolts were not put back in place.

Pretty challenging to tighten something that isn’t there…

Doesn't help when the new way of working is that great engineers of the past have been replaced with bean counters who cut corners and go for cheapest manufacturing possible.
