Alaska pilot sues Boeing and Spirit over 2024 door plug failure, blaming them for shifting blame after NTSB found missing bolts caused decompression.
Alaska Airlines pilot Brandon Fisher has sued Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems, alleging the companies blamed him and his crew for a January 5, 2024, door plug blowout on a 737 Max 9 flight, despite NTSB findings that four critical bolts were missing due to manufacturing and rework failures.
The incident caused explosive decompression, injured four passengers, and prompted an emergency landing.
Fisher claims Boeing’s efforts to shift blame damaged his reputation and caused lasting emotional and physical distress, seeking $10 million in damages.
The NTSB attributed the failure to Boeing’s inadequate oversight and Spirit’s non-standard practices, with the FBI indicating possible criminally negligent conduct.
Boeing has acknowledged the findings but not commented on the lawsuit.
