This is sort of ironic because they asked to bypass some safety checks on the 737 max 7 recently. Note this is a different model. EDIT: The bypass is about the deicer. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/boeing-wants-faa-to-exempt-max-7-from-safety-rules-to-get-it-in-the-air/ https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/boein...

Does it have the same manufacturing process? It wasn't anything specific to the plane's model, it was the fact that it was a manufacturing defect that caused the door to blow out.

  The problem here is the company and its management, not a specific plane. The management trying to weasel out of yet another regulation is entirely showing what’s going on here.

It's not a safety check bypass. Boeing wants to make pilots responsible for turning off the deicer within 5 min of ice disappearing to prevent the flawed engines breaking apart in flight.

  How does one even know if ice has disappeared in the vicinity of the engines?

    what? The death penalty is still around.

      (This is not an argument for or against.) I was curious, so I checked. The death penalty is legal at the federal level and only 27 states. 23 states have abolished the death penalty. And many of the states where it is legal have effectively stopped executing people, so the majority of states do not execute people. It isn't much of a surprise which states still do, and there's only 11 states that do. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_Un...
