next flight leg, same a/c ...
Same aircraft! Ship 5804 SEA-OGG diverted into HNL on August 21st. SCABs thought they fixed the problem and dispatched it to SFO. Supposely, the aircraft again lost oil pressure. The crew finished the flight with the engine in idle avoiding an IFSD. Also heard the engine arrived with only 6 quarts of oil and one of the cockpit crewmembers came off shaking and needing an immediate cigarette. "The SCAB herder" decided to fill the tank and call it good. Very next leg, the outbound crew put power to the engine before takeoff, brought the aircraft back to gate and cancelled the flight. Nice maintenance practices on an ETOP aircraft !
