It is all over the news -- FAA issued an Air Worthiness Directive that has essentially resulted in grounding of 737 MAX-9 variant.
Is the door plug issue, that is the main line of inquiry now -- be an issue with other aircraft models and MAX versions?
I will resolve yes, if FAA deems to be so and issues an Air Worthiness Directive that extends beyond the 737 MAX 9s.
I will close this on 01/31 and if no such directive issued by then it will close as N/A

@MikeChenSF @LukasDay @calm @Arinbjorn --> This seems to be a recommendation and not a directive. Happy to hear your thoughts
@Orca Since carrirers are citing “no operational impact”, it sounds like the 900ERs are not being grounded, and the door plugs are being checked as a maintenance procedure between flights. I’d agree this does not sound like an extension of the worthiness directive.
@Orca - from what I understand, it looks like the EAD that the FAA issued only affected certain 737-9 models that were US owned and operated. On 18 Jan 2024, the FAA adopted it as a final AD. The final adoption changed the scope from "known US owners and operators" to "all owners / operators of these certain models, period". The final AD doesn't expand the scope of the models affected.
Does not seem like a mandate. What do you all think?
