In his latest video (post #1085), Brady makes the following statement:
“AAR has since stated that they did not open the door plugs.”
What AAR actually said in their 1/8 press release (linked in post #441):
“AAR did not perform any work on or near any mid-cabin exit door plug of that specific aircraft.”
Is AAR intentionally misleading here? Not performing work on or near the door is not the same as not opening the mid-cabin door plug for maintenance access.
Seems that if AAR wanted to directly address the issue, a statement such as “AAR did not open the mid-cabin door plug at any time during the aircraft’s maintenance period at AAR” would leave little room for doubt.
