I'd say that's a "no" there Bob.
WTF is going on in Renton? Bill Boeing must doing cheetah flips in his grave. Guess that's what legalizing recreational weed does to the work force? just spit balling here, but the QA at that plant and the one in Everett are really lacking.
Great job by the crew!!

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.
Very lucky it didn't happen higher up in the flight levels. Could have been absolutely disastrous

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.

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.

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.
