hurtling towards another incident (767)
On the back of last year's incident where blocked drains resulted in "moisture" being found in the avionics bay aboard ZXC, and given recent events one would rekon that there would be a sense of caution about sending out an a/c knowing that its drains were blocked....
well not so at Q today - where the ever reliable 767 RR powered ZXG complete with taped off galley sinks and instructions that the drains are blocked (just like XC last year) was sent off the starting blocks for another day of domestic legs.
Initial diagnostics late yesterday apparently determined that the a/c would require at least 12 hours off line to rectify the drain blockage and therefore........ it would just have to wait while pax endured a soggy mess upfront.
Spare a thought for the maintence crew tomorrow that have wade through the stinking putrid waste water and lets hope that any wayward 'moisture' doesnt find its way into anything important in the meantime.
dilgence again dies in the debate for dollars - seems like the LAMEs didnt need to take action on defects - Q is taking the do it yourself path!
