Evacuating for DOT 3 hour rule
There was a flight earlier this year where ops told the crew to..
They did and here's the result
Now WHY would they pop slides just to avoid the 3 hour DOT fine?? Anyone have anymore info on this insane decision making?

Are you kidding me? Posting that photo online?! Poor person that took it and distributed it in the first place.
This happened. Everyone knew, everyone Monday morning QB’d. There turned out to be a lot more to the situation. But blowing the slide was not the proper answer to deal with this.
It is not, and will not be company policy.

This is old news. However, due to the ATL power outage, I heard some aircraft were given the order by a big southern airline as there were about 100 aircraft waiting for gates with no power...can’t confirm how true this was or if anyone did it but I think the rolled in airstairs at the last minute.
