Context from own memory: reportedly, -900ER and MAX 9 shares the same plug-type-plug-door / the dummy filler panel that blew off; the part is not a MAX-specific design.
- coredog64 3y agoCorrect. However, even were there a difference, these are primarily assembly issues. All 737 fuselages are built by Spirit in Wichita with final assembly in Renton. If 757s were still rolling off the line I’d want the FAA to check those too.
- inferiorhuman 3y agoThese are not primarily assembly issues. The newest -900ER is ~5 years old which means all -900ERs have been through a heavy check where the bolts would've been inspected.
- LatticeAnimal 3y agoYup, the article says that.
