However, the agency said it has not lifted the 737 monthly production cap it has placed on Boeing until the FAA can confidently say Boeing can maintain the safety and quality of its aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We at Boeing regret this accident and continue to work on strengthening safety and quality across our operations. We will review the final report and recommendations as we continue to implement improvements,&#8221; a spokesperson for Boeing said Tuesday following the NTSB meeting.<\/p>\n<p>When the 737 Max involved in the accident was being manufactured, Boeing removed the door panel to make repairs to rivets nearby, according to the NTSB&#8217;s report. Paperwork that would have triggered additional inspections was never created and the panel was reinstalled without its bolts \u2014 and the team that did the work had never opened that type of door panel.<\/p>\n<p>When asked whether all of it can be blamed on human error on the manufacturing floor at Boeing, Homendy told CBS News there needed to be a design change or a better process.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is due to a process issue, a process failure. A lot of people have focused on one or two Boeing personnel or door plug personnel. I think we have to really step back and look at the entire process was reliant on humans to set to put in a record that the door needed to be removed and put back in place,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Shandy Brewer was sitting in Row 10 on the flight when the door blew off. It was an experience that stuck with her 18 months later.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;All of a sudden, just this huge bang happened. It sounded like a firework going off, like right in your ears, just like so loud,&#8221; she recalled. &#8220;As soon as I step onto an airplane, tears start pouring down my face every single time. I haven&#8217;t been on a flight where that doesn&#8217;t happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brewer is among a group of 35 passengers who have filed a lawsuit against Boeing and Alaska Airlines in King County, Washington, where Boeing is headquartered. The companies have previously declined to comment on <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/alaska-airlines-flight-1282-door-plug-blowout-1-billion-lawsuit-airline-boeing\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">other<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/boeing-alaska-airlines-door-blowout-passengers-file-class-action-lawsuit-737-max9\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">lawsuits<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/alaska-airlines-flight-1282-seatbelt-saved-passenger-lawsuit-boeing\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">over the incident<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The NTSB confirmed what we already suspected \u2013 Boeing&#8217;s quality control was woefully sloppy, and the FAA failed as a watchdog,&#8221; Brewer&#8217;s lawyer, Mark Lindquist, told CBS News in a statement. &#8220;Now it&#8217;s time for Boeing to accept responsibility, fix their issues, and move forward. We all want to feel safe when we board a Boeing plane.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite the failure, Homendy said she feels like Boeing airplanes are safe, adding that she has &#8220;no concerns&#8221; about that. However, she said there are ways to improve safety.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We found that in our investigation and we hope to help them close any gaps that remain,&#8221; Homendy said.<\/p>\n<p>The NTSB&#8217;s new safety recommendations to the FAA include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Revising its compliance enforcement surveillance system, audit planning activities, and records systems<\/li>\n<li>Developing guidance and provide recurrent training to managers and inspectors<\/li>\n<li>Retaining historical compliance enforcement and audit records older than 5 years<\/li>\n<li>Convening an independent third-party panel to conduct a comprehensive review of Boeing&#8217;s safety culture<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In a statement, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blamed the prior administration and Boeing for taking &#8220;their eye off the ball.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They were distracted and safety was put at risk. That can never happen again,&#8221; Duffy said. &#8220;Under this new administration, safety is paramount and it drives everything we do. Whether it&#8217;s building an all-new air traffic control system or ensuring Boeing and other manufacturers are delivering safe products, we will not hesitate to implement changes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In response to the NTSB meeting Tuesday, Alaska Airlines said: &#8220;We look forward to reviewing the final report in the weeks ahead. We remain deeply grateful for the heroic actions of the crew of Flight 1282 and will continue ensuring safety is always Alaska Airlines&#8217; highest priority.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p
