Well, it’s official. The Boeing 737 MAX 9 involved in the Alaska Airlines blowout incident in January 2024 will NOT return to the airline’s fleet. Let’s look at what will happen to this particular airframe and how the airline will handle the loss of one of its jets…

The reality is that it is now on the record that the airframe was completed but does not have its complete documentation for assembly. At least one item has not been completed - the door - and it’s documented that the finishing team just closed and delivered. They cannot put this back because no one knows what else was forgotten or omitted.

That's not good. I vaguely remember the NTSB hearing. If I"m not mistaken, Boeing admitted they had essentially no paperwork for many of the aircraft they built.

Boeing just replaces the plug and completes the checklist for the installation and that's it. Simples.
