Well that’s a hell of a development. This whole thing has been laid solely at the feet of Boeing when it was also Alaska’s fault.
it was reported on fairly early on in the saga. it was lost in the whole ‘missing bolt’ thing that was discovered to have been the ultimate cause. I’m not sure how critical the pressurization alarms were- from what I remember, those could have been anything from critical “we need to drop the plane now” to “oh, there’s an increased leak but the pumps are handling it”.
I also don’t know that the mechanics would have looked at the door plug or not while doing that inspection.
