Great job by the crew!!
Yeah, I'm sure it's the legal weed in the state that's doing this, and not the absolute dumpster fire of a C-suite at Boeings corporate offices who make decisions to cut costs and focus on stock price over prioritizing safety.

They need a real, clean sheet narrowbody aircraft, rather than continually stretching a 56 year old air frame that requires countless waivers and excemptions to keep it in the air.

and I live how the damage control people say they’ll perform “full maintenance and safety inspections” on every max.

Seems like they should have been doing that the whole time
Very lucky it didn't happen higher up in the flight levels. Could have been absolutely disastrous

I just started going down some crazy rabbit holes in my headspace with this,even at 16,000 it could have been potentially catastrophic…door takes out the elevator or tail. Doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzies

Has the plug been found? Where on the flight track did the plug detach?

Atlas pilot here. We just had a 777 need to shutdown on engine on the f’ing delivery flight from PAE! Come on Boeing. You’ve got to do better!

And it was an ETOPS bird. Imagine this happening at 40,000 feet halfway back from Hawaii rather than at 16,000 feet over Portland.

It's a door, right? Not a plug window exit.

So isn't it possible a passenger opened it?

ETOPS accounts for loss of pressurization, that would be fine. Just loud for the people in the back.

That SWA event with a severely damaged engine creating a lot of extra drag, plus loss of P, is the one I would not care to have.

Well done to the crew. Riding the Laurels of the past isn't working out well for Boeing.

No to both? (I'm an Airbus guy, I don't know the plane) Is it not a door style exit?
