Allegiant MD-80 fleet grounded

Mothra might do that but never Godzilla.

Crap, I just dated my self. Some young gun RJ guy is now having to Google Mothra.

What if the FA is injured and a passenger is the first to approach an exit.

It's on the briefing card.

You get what you pay for.....working slides are extra!!!

Knowing the FAA, yes, they have a Godzilla attacks airplane task force. Slides deploying, in my opinion, should be a priority. 15 year old slides on a 40 year old airplane? I have to agree with the grounding. They did not work, they were not inspecting them correctly, and now they deal with the consequences.

Exaggerate much?

Well the oldest ones could be 34-35 years old,,,,not too far off.

I was referring to OUR planes though. The oldest one in our fleet is circa 1987 manufacture date.

Falcon Air is covering some of their flights. Those birds are 35 years old.

If the other FA doesn't deploy the slide then they probably break their legs. You can dream up 100s of scenarios such as, what if Godzilla breaks the plane into little pieces and the slides deflate, you think the FAA plans for that?

F/A Broken legs..it slows down the chase..Then I only have to think about ...the HIP dysplasia
