Still no reports of any incidents as of the afternoon of 6/25 - but we all know that could change anytime soon...

Quick question: For an incident to "count" does it have to be in the news?
I ask because the sad truth is that there are lots of "Return to Fields," aborted takeoffs, etc. that never get reported.
Amen to that.I don't doubt for a minute that there are incidents which do not get covered. I wonder how much influence NWA has with the media to keep their "normal operations" facade intact? But that's another story altogether... :angry2:
Anyway, I guess that I should have been clearer in saying that we'll go with the first one that makes the media, since that will be the easiest to verify.
Not to sure about where it will happen, but will it be reported in any of those cities? Seems the only ones you hear about happen at non hub cities. Like someone payed off local media to keep things in the hubs quiet. So I say Fargo I hear it's lyles favorite town!It has to be in DTW, MSP, or MEM. The numbers are just so much greater in those three cities and I'm not talking number of flights.
Its all part of that successful turnaround that 'finny ole boy' attributes to the superb SCAB maintenance, hey it left the gate right on time huh finny?Congratulations winner(s).
Thankfully there were no serious injuries to the pax.
The only serious injury I see is to NWA. I am sure there will be repercussion from the pax. I would seek legal matters if I was them. Can't believe the a/c was released with pressurization problems. Wonder what the FAA has to say.
Don has a point here, I mean it could have just been one of those 'calibrated mishaps' that our ex-resident SCAB so brilliantly made mention of!...I don't want to rob Kev and Robbed of their prizes but as you can read in the article the nwa spin doctor Breest was in fine form. Note no use of the word "emergency". So does this count toward the contest?? After all it was just one of those "normal incidents". Those happen everyday. Or was the contest for published incidents of any kind? If I'm wrong I'll lay the prize at Kev's feet.

Don,
We'll let Kev (and Robbed) keep their prizes for this round of the game, since it was the first reported incident. How about we turn this into an ongoing contest? After each incident, we can repick a location.
I'll even let you choose first!
If they were thirty minutes out in a 757 that means they were nearly at cruise altitude. They're lucky they didn't have alot more folks going to the hospital. The leak must have been a small one. I wonder if the same plane was used for the return trip in the morning...can you imagine the passengers angst about getting on another nwa flight in the same type of aircraft???
