The plug door of Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 has been found, and it is a huge problem for Boeing. To read more about the incident, click here. A Portland schoolteacher found the door in his backyard and gave it to authorities after the National Transportation Safety Board requested help in finding the part, and it has been crucial in the investigation. United Airlines has reported after inspecting their 737 Max 9 planes that multiple loose bolts were found in the plug doors of some of them, and this is becoming a deeper and deeper issue for Boeing. After they lost their customers' trust in 2019 after the two 737 Max crashes, they have slowly regained that trust, but it is still not back up to what it was before. They have struggled with quality concerns with the Max and their 787 Dreamliner over the last few years, which is not helping repair that trust. Now, this will be even worse for Boeing as they may be forced to recall their planes as the FAA has not lifted the grounding order for the Max 9 yet, while competitor Airbus continues to inch ahead of them in revenue and orders.
