All Crew did a good job. History of leading Edge Slat assym which recurred (without any flap selection been made) in the cruise. Fuel dumped and Flap 20 landing made at BKK at night. BKK ATC reported brakefire on landing and crew really had no option other than to evacuate. A couple of pax sustained minor injuries during the evacuation.
The aeroplanes are starting to show their age. "M" and "N" are about to be dry leased and with others to go into the hangar for several weeks at a time for cabin/engine upgrades the pressure is really on to keep as many aeroplanes as possible flying the line.
The new business class seats were bought cheap from Del boy and Rodney and are causing major headaches for the engineers. About half the armrests are u/s at any one time. New IFE seems to work ok.
Interesting times.
