Wonder what was wrong? Give credit to the pilots for noticing something out of the ordinary. I hope & pray the Thai trained mechanics take their job seriously (no snook) & are highly qualified. -- As we know there has been some Thai budget carriers not to land in South Korea & Japan a few months ago.

It would be interesting to know how many of the 328 adults were flying free.

The laughing sprocket fell off the giggling pin
