AA Emergency

[Spencer]

Heard on the radio that AA had a 767 divert into MCO for smoke in the cockpit. Haven't been able to find out anything else. Any details?

Yeah, it was rather the smell of smoke in the cabin and cockpit.

Not quite an emergency, nothing was burning.
Thought is was a 757?

i heard it was a 757 going from FLL to LAX.. i could be wrong though.

Smell of smoke constitutes an emergency.

Smell of smoke constitutes an emergency.

F'n A right bubba!!

Had Swissair turned for Gander after the first smell of smoke, they would have made it to the airport.

"Not quite an emergency".......thats scary.

Absolutely.

I worded it wrong and stand corrected.

The smell is enough to pull out the emergency check list and land at the nearest airport.

ValueJet and Swissair are prime examples.
