A United Airlines flight that took off from San Francisco International Airport Friday morning landed in Oregon with a missing external panel, according to officials.
United says the missing panel wasn’t discovered until the plane landed safely in Medford and that pilots had no idea during the flight that something had happened.
So, the Alaska Airlines door plug incident is more than likely Boeing’s fault(we don’t have the footage or a record of who did the repair because Boeing deleted/lost it…which makes me even more suspicious tbh), but this was a 25yr old 737-800 Boeing hasn’t seen in decades. This looks like a united maintenance issue as do all the other united 737 issues.
Now, don’t get me wrong, Boeing definitely has a plethora of issues going on, but I think the FAA might want to also look into United’s maintenance department as well cause they’re also having a plethora of issues.
