The NTSB said in June that "the probable cause of this accident was the in-flight separation of the left MED [mid exit door] plug due to Boeing's failure to provide adequate training, guidance, and oversight necessary to ensure that manufacturing personnel could consistently and correctly comply with its parts removal process." The NTSB also said the FAA's compliance and enforcement systems "were inadequate to identify repetitive and systemic discrepancies and nonconformance issues" at Boeing.
