- 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.
@@karlp8484 Then you can be sure about this plug. But what about the plug on the other side? What about other parts of the airframe? If you want to be sure, ALL parts have to be rechecked.
@@heikosimon3088 Wouldn't it be the same issue with all planes made in the same batch? This one looked to have everything in order until the door blew out...
The doorless Max should be sent to the FAA for disassembly and training. The agency could do with ‘some hands ‘ on experience.
I'm surprised that Ryanair did not snatch it up.
Yet
Why are you surprised ?
They don’t have the 9 in their fleet.
It has been transferred to Boeing, so the manufacturer can install another 20 rows of seats, before going to Ryanair.
Or Southwest Airlines
Great business from all sides. All about protecting the PR of the companies and I am sure Alaska will not be having to part with any additional cash for the replacement Max-10
The jet got banished for PR 😅
1:44 those should actually be the new names for that plane.
Boeing will just change the identity of the plane and sell it on.
That's very illegal... oh wait, like that ever stopped them before 😂
Can’t change the MSN
Cargo conversion...
Correct.
@@rafael_lana No it's not. Perfectly legal to sell that aircraft.
Im sure Boeing is just going to sell the jet to another airline I mean the aircraft is still airworthy and plus that’s what they do with the test beds
It’s no longer air worthy
How?
@@Choosewiselyeyeall you gotta do to make it airworthy is replace the door plug, fix any issues with the pressurization system, replace the oxygen masks and overhead panels, and then it should be airworthy
@@bozocraftstructural issue
There’s nothing wrong with the structural integrity of the aircraft, the door was installed incorrectly.
In Theory it should be one of the safest MAX aircraft in the sky due to the scrutiny... but then again everyone thought the whole MAX program would be safe after those crashes those years ago and look.......
Pragmatic. But has the 737-10 actually been certified yet??
No
Nope imagine Boeing cancels it 💀
The Max10 is not certified yet. The FAA is going over the application very carefully, for good reason.
Whoever buys that plane will also probably have to checks on it to make sure whatever repairs are done to it are safe
The 737-900ER’s just went up in value. I’m sure Alaska will maintain the fleet of that model, for another decade to come, much in the same way United Airlines can’t let go of their ancient 757 Fleet.
They are doing well. This is good for the name of the airline. 😊
Lemon law would apply here wouldn’t it?
The door plane was less than 6 months old so it was brand new. Alaska is cranking and flying the wings off of every asset they own.
I’ll take it!
So, they're one plane short for another 3+ years... the 10 STILL isn't certified.
make sense …
only one removed from their fleet ?
Yes. Clickbait title.
Into the garbage can it goes. 🗑️
Why ?
Aircraft with much more serious damage have been put back into service.
Where it belongs.
@@antoniomarcos5321 that’s where you belong
@@Michael_Livingstone the aircraft is still airworthy it’s not trash
It would have been the safest plane in the skies after all the looking over
“To compensate the missing plane”- Alaska should return all max planes and go back to A321neo.
Then they have that P&W self destructing engine to contend with
@@jdwht2455Well the ex-Virgin A321neos have the CFM LEAP
Aaaaaaand there it goes....
If it's Boeing I ain't going. No matter what airline.
Frankly and simply: "If it's Boeing, i ain't goin' "
Besides, has the 737-10 been certified yet? I was under the impression that both the 7 and 10 are not certified yet.
But anyone that knows better can correct me, obviously.
Alaska qill but MAX 10[...] - if it will ever pass certification and enter service
Jealos alien is happy!
I don’t fly on 737 Max. …and usually avoid 737s in general.
Alaska is paying the price for ditching A320s in favor of 737s.
Their choice, their problem.
Should have known that if they could have kept the former Virgin Americas a320 family after merging with Virgin America. Instead of retiring them, they could have kept using them and this accident of the 737 Max 9 Door Blow out would had happened.
😳I'm Mechanic: probably issues and cracks in structural areas around door plugs, frame strings and longerons...
Why? It was always designed to take the load of the door around that area of the fuselage
Ordering max 10??? It doesn’t fly! It’s not certified, it’s full of problems. Do they ever learn? Can’t believe they still want to do bussines with Boeing.
Yup I’ll trade you something for nothing
How does the MAX 10 have problems? its just delayed but testing is doing really well. Perhaps does every airline learn to not do business with boeing by your instinct? they will keep ordering
@@nickolliver3021 okaay? If they can’t fasten or mount the bolts, I doubt anything at boeing is going well
@@nickolliver3021 going really well means you’ve lost your sense of standards, USA now ranks 23rd in the world for Quality of Life, and China now ranks 25th, therefore your sense of standards make sense, mediocre is going very well for you, meanwhile you are par with China for standards
Why doesn’t Alaska go back to Airbus planes
Why was the plug door designed to "open" outwards. Would it not be more prudent for plug doors to "open" inwards?
They need to back to Airbus
United will buy it and put it into cross country premium service.
Alaska airlines should rule out the possibility of any wonky crummy aircrafts crumbling apart in the sky. Such harrowing ordeal of this calibre should never happen again.
Wasn’t very harrowing.
They were at 16,000 feet, only 6,000 feet above pressurization level. Nobody was sitting in the door plug row, and there was no loss of life with minimal injury.
737 is the most outdated airplane on the market. Even the Max is not comparable to Airbus A320 on control technology. For pilots, A350 is more convenient than 787 on flight control.
Ryanair would take it instantly.
The B737-10 will arrive sometime/never.
like the 777-8 & 9. The new 777-8 & 9 should have already been flying.
I like the N0B0LT reg…..
Geez .... this is old news smh
The video is already nearly two weeks old...
Alaska Airlines should have order Airbus A320neo family.
Very long backlog i think
Why would they want the A320 family they already retired them
E2 - 190 or 195
Sure, less passengers, but impeccable safety records. And not all routes need passenger capacities beyond 150+.
@@jantjarks7946 They already have the E175 and they can’t even fly the E2 in the US
@@jantjarks7946can’t fly e2 in the United States, unions won’t allow it.
This is why they shouldn't have retired thier A320 fleet from Virgin America
Farewell N704AL you will be missed
I don’t feel safe in any Boeing 737 Max so I avoid any companies that fly it.
Jetblue prices gonna soar and share price gonna be stonks (they're all airbus).
Flown on 8 Max 8 aircraft in the last two years. Perspective, I suppose. But in my case, "If it's a Boeing, I'm STILL going."
@@h.h.6171 Lucky You
oh ok then . . .
In today's climate I would not want to fly on any Boeing jet made in last few years. I just don't trust Boeing any more.
Boeing - Benjamin's Over Ethics, Integrity's Not Great
It wasn't always so. But with bean counters instead of engineers calling the shots that is expected.
@@smcdonald9991 MD took over Boeing with the latter's money.
B737 max ie the world's most dangerous aircraft manufacturers in the world
It’s literally not though
I’ve been on 2 Fly Dubai’s 737 MAX 8 and they’re pretty good 👍🏼
Why would anybody assume that the fault with that door was the only fault in the aircraft? It might be just the tip of the iceberg with other faults yet to show themselves. No, once bitten twice shy!
Pathetic. There are so many repaired aircraft flying around for years.
Exactly, I mean just bring it back to service and re-register the aircraft
So Alaska airlines had one aircraft where the plug blew out, found numerous others with loose bolts and still want to buy another coffin. Good luck to passengers using any airline flying the coffin.
So if the problem was the bolts and that has now been rectified I’m guessing the passengers will be fine
amazing they continue to buy from that company!!!!
Aircraft is jinxed
That's sad. They should not have retired the aircraft 😢
All of the MAX aircraft should be grounded.
That aircraft will end up with either Turkish or United. 😂
The aircraft is jinxed. If Alaska brought the plane back in to service and it got out that they were doing it. The public outcry would be huge. And if it had another incident, or worse. The airline would be done ✔️.
Interesting the registration number ended in 4...
Alaska airlines is insane. Literally every other airline, including Southwest, is starting to look at the competition. Meanwhile Alaska has shoved it's head in the sand and is pretending nothing is wrong.
That’s because they are DEI hire
