> where it lost a “plug” type passenger door and additional discrepancies Whoa. That's a pretty big bomb that the FAA just threw there. "We've just begun and what we've already found was so bad we're grounding the airplane." I suspect that means the quality system governing the handoff from the subcontractor to Boeing is completely broken. It could mean that the way Boeing is monitoring quality from all subcontractors on that airplane is fundamentally flawed. It's going to be a long way back for Boeing. Operators of the 737 Max 9 are going to need to find some financing to pay their costs on these airplanes until Boeing makes them whole.
