I'd have to say that any remaining confidence the flying public had in the MAX went right out the door.

Speaking of going out the door, notice in some of the pics how the seat in that row, and the row in front of it are all bent toward the hole. Yikes.

Are we really putting PEMA SNs on our signoffs now? AMMTs are out of control.

I just had an AMI flashback from my time as the MO.

AMI went fine. But still…

The boiler plate that has to be put on the end of the corrective action is like twice as long as the actual corrective action these days.

On the bright side it keeps the speed reading skill sharp.

Not an emergency exit but a plug where a door would go. All max 9s and 900s have this feature.

I found this a good resource to nerd out about why there’s a door-shaped hole there.

I'd say I watched a lot of this guy's videos when I was in initial training, but I would be lying, because his voice consistently put me to sleep. Really good resource though, and it is great how he puts an image to a diagram (things like "this is what the engine driven hyd pumps look like and where they actually live", etc)

LINK - Boeing requesting an exemption to safety standard because the engine could blow, pilots told not to do X to prevent such, check for loose bolt in the rudder control system...like WTF? Also do they not realize the PR? And now a plug in the plane blows out

It was good to see no Costanza or Airplane! style freakouts, on this and the recent JAL mishap.

I flew a 737 Max 8 today, survived.

Airline pilots, what's the EP for a rapid decompression? How fast are you descending when that happens?
