I like that guy's YT videos. I watch him often!
And yes, I do agree - ANY 737-variant using the same door plug design should be inspected.
However, and while this has not been officially verified or proven, but 2 whistleblowers have come forward claiming that Boeing removed the door on that specific Alaska jet after it had been received from Spirit AeroSystems.

And yes, clearly there is a complete disarray of QA/QC/Safety disciplines within Boeing and its major suppliers/sub-contractors.
But interestingly enough, Spirit AeroSystems was once Boeing, "spun off" in 2005 as a separate entity making Boeing show a huge gain to inflate its stock and Spirit AeroSystems becoming Boeings main supplier. Having said that, you would think at least a company that was once Boeing would have no problems adapting to a uniform QA/QC/Safety discipline, but I guess not.
At least Spirit fired its CEO recently. Boeing has to revamp its leadership from top to bottom, putting the engineers back in charge if its ever to re-right this perveribal ship, or get used to Airbus jets more and more. United's already talking about it.
