Tic, thanks for your lead to the 747 incident. A lot of people may be jumping to the conclusion that whoops, another problem with the Airbus........I did when I heard it on BBC world service last night.
The Flight Crew were certainly handy with the extinguisher, is locating the fire extinguisher part of the pre-flight checks?
At least he didn't get sucked halfway out of the cockpit, like that poor pilot over Newbury in the UK, who spent the remainder of the flight mostly out the window with only a steward hanging on to his heels; I heard about that one from someone who knew the steward, he said there was no way I thought he was still alive so I almost let go.......
In that case, the engineers had fitted a replacement window with the wrong size screws....
Thread creep, sorry, Mods.
Mary, Mary, now I'm contrary!
Thread creep?
How about a continental leap!
