TL;DR Summary

The National Transportation Safety Board revealed that the cockpit door on the troubled Alaska Airlines flight unexpectedly swung open after a fuselage rupture, raising concerns about Boeing's lack of disclosure to pilots. This incident echoes previous criticism of Boeing's failure to inform pilots about airplane details, eroding trust and safety margins. Boeing will update its manual to clarify that the doors are designed to open, and the FAA will require a secondary barrier between the passenger cabin and cockpit on new commercial planes from 2025.
