Fire indication, no fire.

Fire indication, no fire.

 
Always Good - indication systems are easier to fix than burnt airplanes.

True, but has it been confirmed that it was an indication only?

The last line in the article posted says that Delta said no fire was present.

 

[Kev3188]

I've seen other places stating an actual fire broke out. I would much prefer an indicator issue, but am looking for official confirmation...

Saw that one as well...

Guess I'll just wait for something more on our company website...

 

[WorldTraveler]

good morning, Kev,

does DL usually address operational issues like this on a company-wide basis?

and congrats on your part of the great quarter!

hope today is a great day for you and all of the "good guys"

There's that ever present sarcasm and negativity we've become so used to. 
 
When something bad happens, break out the pom poms....
 
When something positive, meh....

 

[Kev3188]

No sarcasm here. If you'd actually read the thread, you'd see I'm hoping for an indicator issue, not actual ignition.

can you read? 
When exactly did anyone break out the pom poms? 
 
Kev is simply (and correctly) saying that some media sources are reporting that there was a fire while some are reporting that there wasn't. 
 
Having said that, I'd listen to atlmech. These kind of things are generally his departments MO.

Sounds like they did a great job. Wish they had not deployed the slides but that is a call I hope I never have to make. In my book to error on the side if safety is an atta boy. And that is exactly how DL looks at it.
