‘Scapegoated by Boeing’: Alaska Airlines pilot files $10 million lawsuit over 737 MAX 9 door plug failure

Alaska Airlines Captain Brandon Fisher is suing Boeing for $10 million, alleging the company wrongly blamed him and his co-pilot for the January 2024 door plug blowout. Fisher claims Boeing shifted blame in court filings after initially praising the crew’s safe landing, causing him emotional distress and reputational harm.
