I think you were implying my test pilot change to my check list was wrong. Well it was because of SwissAir 111 that I changed it because our procecure was wrong and would not have prevented another event like that. One week after my smoke in cockpit situation our big company changed our checklist. I knew our procedure would not work if we had the same problem. The Swissair event had happened 6 months prior to mine and nothing was changed. Sometimes if management doesn't do anything you have to protect yourself. I don't know if we would have fried if we had followed our procedure or not, all I know is I did what was safe by shutting down nonessential busses immediately before the smoke got worse. We shut down the faulty galley bus. By the way retirement is wonderful.
