The Jan. 5 Alaska Airlines incident saw a door plug on flight 1282 blow out minutes after takeoff from Portland, Oregon, leaving a large hole in the side of the Boeing 737 Max 9 plane. The plane safely made an emergency landing and no one was seriously injured. Training also remains a problem, the memo said. "Boeing is failing to ensure many of their employees have the appropriate education, training, skills or experience to effectively perform their assigned tasks," it read.
