Update: I flew !!!
https://www.direct2usales.com/VEGAS.HTM

My upcoming trip to Las Vegas is on Alaska Airlines... I am watching the investigation into the problem(s) with Boeing planes closely... and I am very concerned that 'several' planes have been found to have problems... I have trip insurance that I have never used before, and I'm thinking that I may find out this time just how easy/hard it is to make a claim... my trip is in late March, so I will decide early in the month if I want to cancel... or not

In the rush to fix the problem the REQUIRED work order was not created to remove the door plug... without a formal removal document, a reinstall inspection was not done... and still no information on exactly which workers were involved
.
I flew in March without any problems, so hopefully the added inspections by the FAA and the two airlines that buy from Boeing will insure that there won't be any future problems

United Airlines just asked their pilots to take Unpaid Time Off while they address Boeing's safety & production problems.

This is in addition to however much Boeing pays for the lawsuits

I wonder if the people involved in the 'door plug incident' will face criminal charges?
