Alaska Air Grounds Boeing 737 Max-9 Fleet After Fuselage Blowout::Alaska Airlines will ground its entire fleet of Boeing Co. 737 Max-9 aircraft after a fuselage section in the rear part of the brand-new jet blew out shortly after takeoff.
What’s it been, seven days since the last 737 Max story?
It’s been one week since I posted:
Everything you need to know about why there isn’t an “abundance of caution” and Boeing is now run by penny pinchers who would gladly sacrifice your life for their stock grants and how they’ve captured regulators and left them toothless is covered in the incredible book “flying Blind”, and it has echoes to many other companies with storied pasts that are picked to the bone by temporary profiteers and discarded once dead. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
Before we leap to conclusions about this, let’s not forget that this very nearly happened to a A321neo back in October.

just stop with these Max plane. you cheap motherfuckers wanted to save a dime by slapping too big an engine on an existing frame, and look at what fucking happening.
dead people all over the fucking place, and the machines are clearly not safe not matter how much bullshit you bolt on to them.
stop with the max you profit hungry monsters. STOP!

It appears that the door design is unchanged from the previous generation.
The problem is not with any specific part of the design or any model of plane. Grounding the Max again will not help past fixing this specific fault.
It is the fundamental corporate culture. The same poor QA, both in design and production, affects all current Boeing aircraft.

ahh, didnt undertand it was so systemic at boeing. are these companies just too big now to be held accountable? they kill hundreds of people and , what, they get fines and some light regulatory action.
how about dissolution of your corporate charter. when can we start holding corporations accountable in a more criminal manner?

The MIT Sloan School of Business has generationally harmed companies. They preach people management (no technical leadership) and multiple layers of managers. All decisions are top down. Feedback is not present. Information does not flow up, only status.
The stock market incentivizes quarterly and annual goals over long term stability, morality, and ethics. No business with such short term goals will ever succeed long term. I firmly believe that no business can be trusted that’s publicly traded.
