- Me, two hours ago: "Maybe I'll change my flight for the 19th just in case the Max 9 gets grounded for a while. It won't, but just in case...." - ty97 Jan 6, 19:35 7
  - Glad you changed -- nm - Pippy 🏳️‍🌈 aka lady on the plane Jan 6, 21:37
  - We have Alaska flights in April. Just watching at the moment. -- nm - psilotum Jan 6, 19:51 3
    - The 737 Max 9 is (very roughly) about 21% of Alaska's fleet currently -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 19:53 2
      - Checking the flight details. One is a "Boeing 737-9 MAX (ETOPS)"; return flight is a "Boeing 737-900 (Winglets)". -- nm - psilotum Jan 6, 19:58 1
        
        The 737-9 MAX is basically the newer generation of the 737-900. - ty97 Jan 6, 20:00
  - sounds like the hatch patch has some serious structure flaws being found on other max 900s -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 6, 19:42 1
    - I'll wait to see what the NTSB/FAA have to say. Will be interesting to see if this is just the Max 9 or also extends to the prior gen 737-900s -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 19:43
