Is there any place to get the full list of tail numbers involved in the grounding? I just flew on an Alaska 737 Max 9 out of PDX a few days ago and am morbidly curious if my plane was one of the ones grounded.

In all likelihood it is all of them, there aren't that many flying in the US..

Alaska grounded their whole fleet of Max 9s before the FAA ordered it for everyone else. So yes. It was grounded.

  When did they ground it? I'm looking at the tail number on FlightAware and it's on a scheduled flight to SEA since 9am.

    I can only assume major hubs have already completed inspection, because a buddy of mine flew out of Seattle on a 737 Max9 this morning. Guess I assumed inspections took longer than half a day

      Supposedly the flaw exists on a section where a “false door” exists for future alterations to the exit points. Perhaps not all of their planes were built with this feature. Nothing to inspect in that case.

        The number of emergency exits required depends on how many seats you cram on a plane. A Ryanair Max 9 would need that extra exit for compliance.

        Do we really know the root cause this quickly?

      *Slaps door of 737 MAX* this bad boy can fit so much air in it.

    It seems like they grounded all of their 737 Max 9 fleet immediately after the incident. But apparently they have begun inspections and returned some of the fleet to service - https://twitter.com/jonostrower/status/1743668287106678866 https://twitter.com/jonostrower/status/1743668287106678866 and https://twitter.com/AlaskaAir/status/1743677307644944797 https://twitter.com/AlaskaAir/status/1743677307644944797

United says all aircraft 7535 and above. 7501-7533 have already received inspections.
