The plane in question was manufactured last summer, IIRC.
- toast0 3y agoYeah, I don't know what I did last summer. Especially at work, unless you've got logs to remind me. And if Boeing had logs, they probably would have shared them.
- dmitrygr 3y agoAirplane maintenance is not YOLOed. Logs must exist. My mechanic logs every thing he does on my plane. Else it cannot fly legally. Lack of these logs might be a serious offense in of itself.
- sidewndr46 3y agoI believe we are well into the "not fly legally" territory when it comes to Boeing and the 737 MAX
- zardo 3y agoOddly your mechanic is much more tightly regulated maintaining your plane than he would be if he got a job at an airplane factory.

- rad_gruchalski 3y agoI hope it’s sarcasm. I have git logs to look at. You’d think Boeing would have more than that.
- toast0 3y agoI mean, what was I doing on September 19, 2023? IHNFC. I could look at work logs and notes, and my personal calendar and guess. But if I did any work stuff without detailed logs, I might be able to tell you I did X or Y, but unless it was special, I wouldn't be able to tell you much in detail or why I did a routine task one way or another. Boeing does have logs for some operations, but based on the preliminary report, and that one forum post, and this hearing, it seems highly likely that this plug opening and closing was not documented. It would be interesting to know if other openings were or were not. Unsourced reports indicated many fuselages needed rivet repair, so there could be several examples to look at.
- rad_gruchalski 3y agoI remember what I was doing on 19th of September 2023. Just checked my email and I can clearly recall the day. I was getting ready for a business trip the next day, which was my birthday, too. The question is not what they have or don't have, the question is what they should have. Someone was doing the job, someone signed it off, someone clocked in to start the work, clocked out after work. Who did what can be inferred. At least you'd hope so. These people aren't building model aircraft...
- sitkack 3y agoBut you aren't Boeing. What you did last summer has no bearing.
- fransje26 3y agoProblem being that Boeing has a history of not sharing their logs and misleading the NTSB, which has cost lives in the past.
