744 Question
Flew recently from SFO to LHR as SLF, in a fairly ancient United 744. (Ancient enough not to have individual screens at the peasant seats)
At FL 380, OAT -65ºC (I think), something that probably turned out to be water started gushing from the overhead bins, on both sides of the aircraft (outboard seats), around row 23 (just aft of the wing-root leading edge).
Cabin crew (when eventually they deigned to arrive) were not particularly bothered. It was dark, and they didn't turn the cabin lights on. They made a perfunctory check of the bin contents. I assume they thought it was just condensation. Anyway, they didn't offer to reseat anyone, despite a few seats being available, and despite several people being quite wet. Finding nothing suspicious, they retired to wherever it is they hibernate, explaining that 'the captain knew all about it'.
My question is, for all you 744 jocks - is this kind of thing a common occurrence?
PS Mods - please feel free to relocate this somewhere you might feel more comfortable with.
