  1. I would swear I was about to be sucked out if I were sitting right there. I'd never step foot on another plane after this. People just aren't doing their jobs anymore, and gone are the days when protocol and safety regulations were a non-negotiable

  2. After three significant warnings on that 737 max 9, that aircraft should not have been allowed to fly, whether short haul or long haul.
    Alaska needs to give the public answers as to what conclusions they arrived at as to why this aircraft was safe to fly after three warnings.
    Am grateful for the fact that everyone made it safely and whatever finding, that all other aircraft are examined thoroughly so that this incident does not happen again.

  3. 737 MAX proyect was a complete disaster from the beginin. The olds 737 are fantastic, even today, fliying everywhere. Instead a new 737 version (due A-321 competition) they must design a new model (797, etc) Now is too late. The passengers don't feel 100% sure on board of those aircrafts

  4. Boeing used to place safety as #1 .
    Now its profits and schedules .
    It used to be if you had a solid quality system in placed and a workforce of detail oriented assemblers everything else fell in place . Profits and corporate growth !
    Now they focus on corporate growth with their fingers crossed as far as quality.
    I mean you have hundreds of people thousands of feet in the air . You've got to have 100% conformance to specifications or go home ! 99.999% NO GOOD !

  5. This sounds like a problem Boeing had a couple years ago with a rear luggage door coming off of a flight and a pile of luggage was lost out the opening. A grounding of planes took place and I think it was found that the door was not secured 100 % at the time .Maybe the same problem again, poorly secured / locked side door . Maybe a sensor says it is OK and it really isn't 100 %

  8. It wasnโ€™t a window it was a door plug the 737 max can hold 193 passengers
    But this type of 737 max could hold 173 and a emergency door was not needed because it wil only cost more while not being in operation from the outside you can see a door alike but from the inside it looks like a window
