This is what happens when the media and politicians get involved. Every airliner I’ve ever flown has had AD’s or weaknesses related to a crash scenario. In 1380 it was a fan blade that flew off and punctured the fuselage. Hard to imagine how a piece of cowl could do the same.

Cant be that hard to at least put a scratch pad message to draw pilot’s attention. “EAI has been on for 5 minutes.” Similar to the above 10 degrees one.

once this door plug issue is resolved and the noise dies down, I think we’ll see what happens. Could be worse. For once it isn’t SWA with 20% of its fleet grounded while waiting for a response.
