I just finished a 4 day trip, and we picked up ship #806AW, the hail damaged aircraft, in Houston, IAH, and went on to LAX. We kept the same airplane from LAX to CMH, Columbus, OH. It flew just fine. The log book had over 20pages of repair notes and entries since the hail incident on June 3. They did a great job with the airplane. Engine cowls and blades were like new; they probably were. The only thing we could see, and we both did a walk around, was some dings on the inboard leading edges. Both outboard slats had been replaced as had the horizontal stabilizer leading edge.
I must be missing something
Our operations manual prohibits us from making public speeches / talking to the media after an accident/ incident or aircraft damage
Theres no issue with keeping your passengers updated while on the aircraft but
‘holding court’ in the terminal afterwards is ill advised

"You are absolutely correct on that." There should have been no public comments regarding this incident until all the required paperwork was submitted and until this crew had talked to and been given guidance by APA.

I flew all around the US for 35 years and that is exactly what I did. Never got any hail damage.
