An Alaska Airlines pilot is suing Boeing, claiming the company wrongly blamed him and others for a 2024 incident where a panel blew out of a Boeing 737 Max, causing minor injuries but a safe landing, after Boeing and its supplier were implicated in a repair oversight. The pilot, praised for his quick response, alleges Boeing's attempts to deflect liability caused him distress and legal issues, despite the NTSB's findings of a maintenance error.
