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.

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.

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....

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'
