Juan Browne on the AS1282 door loss - thinks it might have been from poor signoff requirements

I saw this earlier.
I was a Quality Assurance Inspector for Navy aircraft.
I'm amazed this kind of work is leaving Boeing on new aircraft.

The PFMEA at both Boeing and its sub-supplier is obviously in a woeful state.
This would be a RPN well over 100, and should have a full mitigation plan in place.
Obviously, that doesn't exist, or someone blew it off.
Either way, it's quite telling of the lack of commitment and controls at those companies.

FAA is paving way for return of MAX9 to service.
Also, a good indicator that stock fluctuations from day to day should not be taken as something serious in long run.
They have military contracts and lots of other stuff.
Quality costs lots of money.

Market is typically forward looking, from that perspective this is relatively minor and in the past. Market hates uncertainty, this doesn't have that.
The CEO is way, way over paid.
Hey Boeing... if you need an retired USAF Quality Control inspector I'll be happy to help...

From the WSJ:
"According to the Wall Street Journal, the bolts on the jet operating Alaska 1282 "appear to have been missing when the plane left Boeing's factory" after "the plane maker's employees failed to put back the bolts when they reinstalled a 737 MAX 9 plug door after opening or removing it during production."
This latest and "increasingly likely scenario" is "based partly on an apparent absence of markings on the Alaska door plug itself that would suggest bolts were in place when it blew off the jet around 16,000 feet over Oregon on Jan. 5," according to WSJ sources.
The door plug itself was found by a teacher in his Cedar Hills, Oregon, yard a few days after it had violently separated from the rest of the fuselage. In addition to the lack of physical indications on the door plug, WSJ cited "paperwork and process lapses at Boeing's Renton, Wash., factory related to the company's work on the plug door." "
Boeing Renton, their DER's, and the FAA had better get their act together.
