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.
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.
