A key Boeing mechanic who worked on 737 Max doors was on vacation on 2 critical days before the Alaska Airlines blowout
Briefly

The veteran mechanic expressed concern about the qualifications of personnel who filled in for him during critical maintenance, stating, "I think somebody that was asked to do it that didn't really know that they were doing." This highlights fears over adequate training and oversight in maintenance processes.
The NTSB transcript revealed that the Boeing 737 Max was delivered with missing key bolts securing a crucial component, indicating possible lapses in quality checks during manufacturing.
The mechanic, a 35-year veteran, emphasized his unique knowledge, claiming, "I think I'm the only one that can work on all the doors," underscoring potential risks associated with relying on less experienced staff.
The lack of documentation regarding the door plug's maintenance led to no quality inspection, further raising alarm bells about Boeing's maintenance protocols and the consequences of personnel changes.
