Flight out of Portland had an explosive decompression by what appears to be be a sealed emergency exit blowing out. No injuries or fatalities thankfully, but not a good look for Boeing. Plane is brand new and was just delivered November time frame.

”Exterior photos of the aircraft appeared to show that the rear mid-cabin exit door separated from the aircraft during the flight, Flightradar24 said in a post on its website.
The MAX 9 features a rear cabin door behind the wings of the aircraft that can be "activated" in dense seating configurations to meet evacuation requirements, Flightradar24 said. However, they are permanently "plugged," or deactivated, on Alaska Airlines jets.” https://www.reuters.com/business/aerosp ... 024-01-06/ (Not that Reuters is the epitome of accuracy…) |

That’s just the ultra premium deluxe ’extra view’ seating
More and more people are flying with ‘service dogs’. Now they can stick their head out the window _________________ You may be right, I may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for |

Between Alaska and the McDonnell Crime Family... plenty of shoulders to spread blame on here. Remember, Alaska's the ones that NEVER buy enough de-icer at SeaTac so every time there's a heavy snow their whole system shuts down?

Boeing is perfect example of why “less government regulation” isn’t all rainbows and unicorns.

Government regulation didn't have anything to do with this issue, I'll leave it at that.
