Key bit from the article translated:<p>There is no connection to recent problem with the 737 MAX 9 where a door plug was not installed correctly. Instead, this occurred on an older (previous generation) 737 airplane. The cause of this incident is that the door had not been closed properly prior to take-off.<p>(original Dutch: "Er is geen enkel verband met de deurplugproblematiek van de 737 MAX 9: het gaat in dit geval om een 737 van de vorige generatie, waarbij de deur voor vertrek niet goed luchtdicht was afgesloten.")
Only going from the translation, this seems more likely to be a maintenance issue or crew error than another shocking quality problem, since I believe the 737-800 and -700s that they fly haven't been manufactured since at latest 2020, and their average age of their (Transavia's) 737 fleet is 13 years.<p>As disappointing as it was watching the recent Wendover video breaking down the Boeing decline, this is probably not part of the story.
Seems Boeing just can't catch a break lately.<p>I'm somewhat surprised that there isn't a warning in the cockpit for a poorly closed door on an airplane. My car warns me of that! (Granted, my car door isn't necessarily airtight, but still)
> There is no connection whatsoever with the door plug problem of the 737 MAX 9: in this case it concerns a 737 of the previous generation, where the door was not properly closed airtight before departure.<p>(Machine translated from the linked article)
This is such a weird way to write this: Bij het opstijgen van een Transavia-vlucht is vorige maand een deur van het toestel een beetje opengegaan<p>Duing ascent of the Transavia flight, the door of the airplane opened <i>a little bit</i> (emphasis mine).<p>What the hell, how does the door on your airplane open ‘a little bit’?
