Well we got a photo of the loose bolts and what can I say. That's quite bad even for Boeing's standards. Might as well as ground all MAX planes and inspect them one by one from top to bottom

The article implied United only inspected the plugged doors of 737Max9. Who knows if there are loose nuts and bolts on other parts of the planes and on other types of planes.

Welp, now "loose hardware" was found in the aircrafts of another airline

As our maintenance technicians began preparing our 737-9 MAX fleet for inspections, they accessed the area in question. Initial reports from our technicians indicate some loose hardware was visible on some aircraft.

That article also has this in it:
The 737-9 MAX grounding has significantly impacted our operation. We have cancelled 170 Sunday flights and 60 cancellations for Monday, with more expected. Cancellations will continue through the first half of the week, and we encourage guests with travel plans to continue to check their email and alaskaair.com for updates.
That must come cheap. Not. Alaska might suffer a fate similar to Norwegian at this rate.
