Default My greatest concern as an airline pilot.

If it indeed doesn't have it, then I would assume that is the next step for most every carrier.



I do hope that they get the Bleed Air filters installed over there as was stated in emails. My concern was, I would ask every mechanic I came across how its going, what they knew about it or what they heard. It wasn't very reassuring how many had no clue about it. This was months after it was announced as well.



Someone rattled off a few tails that got it installed, but still didn't say much about it or give a lot of detail. I will say though that once they stopped over servicing the fluids things did get a lot better so that is good for sure.
None of the new filters have been installed... They haven’t been approved by the FAA yet.
