FAA grounds 737 Max 9 Aircraft Indefinitely after Alaska Airlines incident

[RSVKanga]

The aircraft (N704AL) involved in the incident has not returned to service since, and FR24 lists Boeing as the owner of the aircraft rather than AS…

I can’t remember the source, but I read a week or two back that that aircraft had been returned to Boeing.

Here it is and was reported by several agencies.

FAA orders inspection of 2,600 Boeing 737s over oxygen mask issue
The FAA said its airworthiness directive was immediately effective and requires inspections and corrective actions if needed within 120 to 150 days based on the 737 model.

Another urgent job

And Boeing just got fined 100s millions for the two deadly crashes plus put on "12 months probation" whatever that means???

Slap on the wrist.

Well, if you fly everywhere below 25,000’ you don’t need a passenger oxygen system.

Too big to fail…. So a few crashes now and then are tolerable especially if they aren’t in the US.

They want their discounted new airforce 1s and continued delivery of space shuttles

Sadly there seems to be a lot of truth to that, and the media perpetuates it. The Alaskan door loss is apparently of equal magnitude to the complete loss of two foreign 737s, even though nobody was hurt in one, and hundreds in the others.

Pathetic fine for the manslaughter of so many, motivated by profit. (c.f. VW was fined $2.8billion in the US for faking emissions test).
I think this criminal charge was for not complying with the Indonesian and Ethiopian crashes "settlement"?
