I saw an update clarifying the cockpit door thing. It makes sense now.

The AC for the door is an interesting read. Basically the door can open fully as a function of a depressurization event or there can be a panel. Obviously there has to be a function of the door releasing pressure both ways.

Wait, is CC criticizing a click bait article?

Irony is dead.

If what you link to is what you read in actual life, you need to think about how crappy this article is and extrapolate that to your general perception to the world as delivered by the daily mail and NY Post.

But he's not wrong. I am intimately familiar with 2 industries and academia, and have passing familiarity with 2 others through my SO.

95% what you read in the press about any of those is wildly incorrect and/or chock full of hyperbole. The remaining 5% is regurgitated press releases.

So extrapolate that out to everything else, and yea, you have to wonder how much really is accurate.

I found it to be mildly amusing how many of those people are obviously Australian. I love Aussies, have worked with them a lot, but I guess I don't understand the connection/draw? Seattle is pretty opposite of Australia. Maybe they saw there are direct AUS flights? Wrong AUS?

I am also intimately familiar with two industries and academia and I completely agree with you.

The irony though is that the single biggest purveyor of click bait articles here is complaining about a click bait article.

The LA Times is in serious trouble. I used to have it delivered to my house on Sundays. I'd start a pot of coffee, put on some slippers and retrieve it at the end of the driveway. Part of that was the wife wanting all the coupons and what not, and part of it was me wanting to read the cartoon page along with all of the other important news. I still have the 7 foot something poster from the sports section when Shaq came to LA. The left is eating its own, the company can't make money anymore because they've gone full left, and their employees (that formed a union) are blaming their employer when the whole thing is crumbling. Time is a great filter for nonsense. The LA Times has been a joke for a couple of decades around here and it's swirling pretty close to the drain currently. It sucks because it used to be a newspaper, not propaganda. It's 2024, are you ready?

Just an FYI, they do have a good reputation for factual reporting (see attachment).

Not discounting your disdain for the paper’s endorsement, just noting that opinion pieces are not the same as reporting news, although too many sources don’t make that distinction.

It is amazing that more companies havent done the same. 787, ole sparky, had significant issues and sustained grounding, 737 MAx killed two airplanes full of people before the had a mea culpa and a year long grounding and now their MAX9 work is so shoddy doors are flying off.
 
So I see the FAA has issued a SAFO for the 737-900ER that encourages visual inspections of the plug doors after some operators “have noted findings with bolts during maintenance.”
