Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 Decompression
- Thread starter Ken_gone_flying

At altitude, yes. But these folks were at 16k. You ain’t getting that much VSI down low and slow! Since I have never flown a 73, I don’t know how they behave but 250-200 knots, you ain’t getting more than 1300 without gear in a widebody. I have to assume a 73max is gonna be similar.
Our number one threat is a cargo fire (lithiums are no bueno). So yes we run this drill in the sims often.. What you’re saying is not wrong My comment is strictly in relation to their scenario and commentary that they had slowed down to slowest practical speed.
So here is a question? Since it’s no longer a door but a plug, would you get an EICAS message for door open? Again, no 73 experience and not a PAX pilot. But was a 757 & now a 767 Capt so I sort of know a little about Boeing. And by a little, don’t read into that, I mean a little!
Ah, I didn't realize they slowed to slowest practical.. that's fair then.
No EICAS in the 737 (MAX included), but if I recall correctly, the door lights on the overhead panel associated with those exits are placarded INOP on our tails that have this "feature"
Yeah I suppose the situation of having a partial convertible in the back probably warranted going slightly off script from the QRH in terms of good headwork and SA, especially given the less critical altitude it occurred at.
This always blew my mind. The P-8 has (to some degree) an EICAS. Granted, most of the messages that would pop up were mission system related, but we still had basic ones that would pop on the center MFD. Why the MAX doesn’t I don’t understand.
I'm surprised how fast they're moving on this. They've already updated the MAX sims.
I think it was MANsomething sim but we did the ANC air return with a cargo fire in ITU and it was crazy busy. Very thankful for the fancy cargo suppression system Fred sprang for during those TRANSPACs.
Not good for Alaska or United. MAX 9 grounded indefinitely by FAA.

FAA will keep Boeing 737 MAX 9 grounded until âextensive inspection and maintenance is conducted'
The FAA announced Friday that it plans to keep the Boeing 737 MAX 9 grounded until "extensive inspection and maintenance is conducted" and the data is reviewed.
The weird thing is the 737-900 has the same plug door.. from what I've heard, no difference at all. It's been flying for decades without issue. Wonder why the max is grounded but not the 900? Just to appease the unaware public with minimal impact? Maybe part of the distrust of Spirit Aerosystems/Boeing's recent manufacturing processes?
