An anonymous whistleblower claimed the door plug blowout during Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 was due to Boeing's improper reinstallation of a fuselage panel, stating that the issue was documented in Boeing's records.
The NTSB report concluded that the January 5 incident occurred because four crucial bolts were missing from the panel that blew out, raising serious safety concerns about the quality control within Boeing.
In the wake of the incident, the FAA grounded 171 Boeing 737 Max 9s, leading to heightened scrutiny of Boeing's quality assurance processes and the airline's operational safety.
Following a series of incidents, Boeing’s 737 Max program chief was fired and a new senior vice president of quality role was established amidst concerns about Boeing’s operational integrity.
