Seems odd. Shouldn't it just be the planes with a plugged emergency exit?

Alaska and United are the only domestic airlines affected.

Looks like one of my flights has switched to Airbus with a slight schedule change. And then was making sure but all others are -800 or Max 8.

We have a 737 Max 9 United flight on Saturday. They better get it straightened out before then!

As mentioned above, it's only 737 Max 9 aircraft, should only affect United and Alaska, although Alaska has already completed a lot of the required inspections and gotten some planes back in the air.
