Not that stupid at all. Only spotters are interested in these daily smoke related diversions. We had one at work yesterday which hasn't even made the PPRuNe pages, and nor will it - from me anyway.

I think the fact that it's another American Airlines maintenance issue makes it of more interest to the pilot population rather than spotters.

At least they can't blame the pilots for this incident - as long as they actually find some evidence of smoke. :E

Where did it say its a maintenance issue? Or are just being a prat and confusing a tech issue with a maintenance issue which is something different

Wind yer neck in Walter.

It could be either. Which ever it is, it doesn't invalidate what I said.

By saying its another maintenance issue you certainly suggesting someone has cocked up again in that airlines engineering dept, which is very unfair given you do not appear to know any more than any of us do about exactly what happened.

I don't how you've got the balls to say that with your track record. Maybe it diverted because a valve cap was missing;)

Walter sweety, you're banging your head about spotters, again and again isn't healthy. You need to take better care of what brain matter you have left. Good fellow!
