Dodge said:Did they try to restart the "good engine" in the relight envelope? I don't know if they did or not.
Yes, in fact, they did. The #1 engine was virtually undamaged (as amazing as that is). The #2 engine was essentially fused, but the #1 engine managed to avoid extreme heat damage. It should have started. The bleeds were configured properly and they attempted an APU assisted relight more than once to no avail. It is still unknown why the engine would not start. That is why ALPA is pushing the "core lock" issue.
