United Boeing 767 Gets Hosed
Now I know the rest of the story.
This week one of our friendly airline geeks on a list I am on sent out some disturbing pictures in which it appeared someone at United AIrlines decided to take a pressure washer to one of the airline's Boeing 767s -- knocking out windows and generally making a huge expensive mess.
But that wasn't a pressure washing. It was from fire hoses.
Kieran Daly wrote on his blog, Unusual Attitude this week that he was told that United took a Boeing 767-300, and gave it the full customer-facing treatment. New seats, interior fittings, and best of all,"Panasonic's all-singing, all-dancing in-flight entertainment." All of this was done at its Chicago maintenance base.
That's when all hell broke loose.
If you would like to read the official MX write-up of the damage, you can access it at Kieran's blog. It runs for pages and pages. And pages.
