If It's Boeing, I Ain't Going

Boeing is currently trying to get a waiver on addressing a de-icing flaw on a model of their 737 Max that can blow up the engine nacelle, but I'm not writing about that tonight.


An Alaska airlines 737 MAX just suffered an explosive decompression when an emergency exit blew off in flight.

Given that these doors open in, it's a safety feature to prevent the doors from blowing off in flight, it is clear that something went very wrong, particularly on a jet that has been in service for less than 2 months:

An Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 was forced to divert on Friday night after one of its windows blew out mid-flight. The aircraft, operating as Alaska 1282, had just departed from Portland, Oregon bound for Ontario, California when the indecent occurred.

Passengers onboard the aircraft report that a child’s shirt was ripped off when the incident occurred, though it is unclear at the time of writing if anyone was injured during the incident. A hole was found in the ceiling of the aircraft.

It is clear to me that the MBA style of management that Boeing has adopted is not working.
