Hopefully it will not take so long

i have heard that United already did what they assumed would be the AD and we’re standing by to see what additional items needs to be inspected.

I think the majority of our aircraft just need to have there side walls snapped back on and seats reinstalled and they will be good to go. Tomorrow might look fairly normal.

Does anyone know how many Max 9’s have been returned to service?

Have any at all? Do they know whether this is isolated to those specific plugs or whether it's a broad QC process that failed to catch that and was responsible for far more?

It's starting to look like the 2 bolts that are installed to keep the latch from moving were missing. Looks like the design is fine, but you have to install the bolts....

It'll be an inspection process to see if the bolts are there and properly torqued. Hopefully, the process has been fixed at Boeing, and they won't find any more problems. I'm surprised, if the bolts were not installed, it lasted 145 flights.

Boeing really needs to get their act together. This type of quality control issue at this level is unconscionable. Absolutely no excuse.

They wont learn anything from this. Nothing will change. Boeing will continue to suck until the end of time.

Agree, this level of constant neglect has no place in the airplane making business. Too much money wrapped up in carriers needing delivered planes flying and to be delivered planes delivered. So lucky no one was killed. Whelp, until the next 'discovery'

Apparently putting a MAX together is like putting the shelves together from IKEA and afterwards having about 8 bolts left over.
