a one or two days and we're done. this could be weeks that we're here. >> to digest this story, we have john strickland. he is the director of jls consulting. thank you for joining us, john. our first question and this is not the first incident with this aircraft, should we be worried about potentially getting on one of these flights going forward? >> i don't think we should be worried because the regulatory and safety regime we have heard referenced with this instance not least be the spokesman of the ntsb there is designed to protect our safety. we also saw that once this accident happened, unfortunately, happened without any injuries or fatalities, then alaska airlines took the decision to ground the fleet immediately. i think that was a wise decision to act with caution and as we heard there in the briefing, the investigation will take time. the aircraft has to sit on the ground for that period of time, whatever it may be, so be it. safety has to be paramount of any of the situation. >> just outline for us a little bit in more detail how different this incident is from the others we have seen in the

aeroplane has a chequered safety record — in 2019 it was grounded worldwide for eighteen months after two fatal crashes. live now to aviation analyst from jls consulting, john strickland sadly its fresh news this morning just _ this case? sadly its fresh news this morning just prior _ this case? sadly its fresh news this morning just prior to the _ this case? sadly its fresh news thisj morning just prior to the interview. looking at the photos it's clear a section of fuselage equivalent to one window frame area in the row of seats affected, i must stress they know it's happened, the aircraft was able to safely land but it would have been an element of depressurisation with lower cruising altitude of 16,000 feet that's harshly what an airline would be cruising during the flight. they needed to get the plane down safely which fortunately was done with all eyes protected. but while we know little about the information of the evidence we have seen of this window frame that's come out of the fuselage section of the plane, this has nothing to do with the reason to be grounded. that was to do with software on a flight control system being defective. it was a major issue whic
