In the last few moments, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ordered the temporary grounding of 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft operated by U.S airlines or in U.S territory.
I’ll wait for the investigation to release its findings. But door plugs are a common feature on most commercial airline body’s.
More than likely this is due to bad manufacturing and QA processes. The 737 is manufactured in a non union shop in the South that is known for poor quality compared to Boeings Seattle facilities.
It’s almost like the 737 was obsolete decades ago and Boeing chose to zombify its corpse instead of lay it to rest and develop a better narrow body!
