In case anyone else is as oblivious to prescription drug abuse as I am, google says Tramadol is a prescription pain narcotic.

Narcotic
It can treat moderate to severe pain.
Controlled substance
High risk for addiction and dependence. Can cause respiratory distress and death when taken in high doses or when combined with other substances, especially alcohol.

I still don’t understand how people think hydraulic fluid is getting into packs, but 🤷🏽*♀️

The 737 had an industry-wide issue where excess hydraulic fluid would drip onto the packs and enter the air system. This was apparently due to a reservoir that would overflow once filled above a certain point. TechOps figured out the solution and implemented guidance on refilling the reservoir.

The solution is called “not over servicing the hyd reservoir” - has a nice common sense ring to it.

OMG, you can get an amen. They use sledgehammers to get them in.

I think the logic is: If passengers can't pull the paper towels out ....

wait for it ....

.....Then the cleaners at the next station won't have to replace them!

Not just passengers - just when I think I have the galley trash location figured out on my B-757, those pesky F/As shuffle the carts around and I'm confused. On some aircraft types (A321 on an OA comes to mind), the toilet seat covers are evident, but paper towels are more of a mystery; same with the flush button/lever. Ass gaskets offer lovely absorbency after hand washing!

Are my type ratings in jeopardy of I cannot locate those items by Braille in the dark?
