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.
This is how I felt about Boeing the first couple times but at this point my trust is shattered. Can’t say I’ll ever fly on one again tbh.
Yep. I flew on a Max right before they were grounded the first time after all those people died, and had just begun to trust them again when this all happened. I changed my upcoming flight to Airbus even though it was more expensive because they were going to use a Max. As an extra, I ended up on the largest passenger jet in service, which is pretty cool.
How do you know the plane model when purchasing a flight?
It’s listed on the flight website. They need to know and show the model so you can pick seats.
