The FAA report said Boeing had calculated the probability of LRD activation as low enough to expect about one incident per year.
So it’s okay that once a year there’s a flight where the cockpit or the cabin fills up with possibly lethal smoke and fumes? Surely there’s no way this could cause any issues. After all, a bulletin was issued that fixes everything…
Let’s just hope some FAA personnel happens to be on board when this next happens.
“Hey, look on the bright side: At least the planes don’t fly themselves into the ground anymore! Boy, that was a hell of a boner, amirite? Right? Why are you looking at me so serious now? Hey, man, lighten up.”
