I felt otherwise. Delta cares about honesty. Personally, I felt it better to be more open than not. So I put it down.
If that’s the case, an NTSB report should have been filed. If no report was made but you think it’s reportable, how do you answer that question in an interview?
Also, reportable events are further clarified:
“Failure of any internal turbine engine component that results in the escape of debris other than out the exhaust path”
