Although I can sympathize with the story, this particular aircraft had been in their hands just a couple months. Its first commercial flight was just a couple weeks back. Maintenance isn't the issue here, clearly.
- xvector 3y ago> Maintenance isn't the issue here, clearly. It is. Maintenance was aware of the pressurization warnings on this plane. They did nothing.
- habinero 3y agoNo, they logged it. Logging is not nothing. Planes are incredibly complex and have little problems like that all the time. It's not a safety issue. This was a brand new aircraft, this is almost certainly a manufacturing defect of some kind.
- stjohnswarts 3y agoFixing known problems as you learn of them is maintenance is it not? That's just as important as changing out the lubricants and checking that the working parts are working.
- inferiorhuman 3y agoWhen you hear hoofbeats think horses, not zebras. A pressurization fault on the ground where the plane is not pressurized almost certainly doesn't hint at problems with a permanently installed door plug.
