(This is good news for people who trust Boeing more than medical workers. You can bring your own screwdriver.)

The serious narrative is shocking:

A Boeing mechanic failed to tighten the bolts on a door-size “cabin plug” that blew out on an Alaska Air 737Max flight. The aircraft had cabin pressure warnings onboard for some time, so instead of investigating/fixing, the airline simply ‘restricted’ the plane from ‘long flights over water’ so it could land quickly. No joke.

    To my knowledge the problem with the pressurization system was unrelated, and not critical enough to have been a danger to the aircraft.

        No, it should have gone immediately once it got far enough along the track that the seals failed.
