''There is no talk at this time of re-taking the mini (since the staff did everything correctly), but rather the talk is of changing the procedures to ensure that the equipment is being properly re-packed....and then proving that those procedures work. ''

''BF Goodrich's product was not at fault. The way their product was repaired (patched) and the way it was packed internally (which Baltia cannot see since Baltia is not allowed to open the pack once the FAA Certified Facility seals it up) was the problem.

BF Goodrich included their findings in the report to the FAA.''

Baltia now has procedures in place to supervise all future re-packing of the slides, and has the technical manuals on hand to be able to supervise and evaluate that re-packing process.

Problem occured.....solution found....procedures in place to prevent that problem from reoccurring in the future.

Remember the industry wide 37% failure rate?

''Baltia is finding solutions to the FAA's problems with these slides step by step.

You have to realize that the "break throughs" that Baltia is discovering and uncovering....and then resolving.....are going to soon be standard protocol for the entire airline industry.

As with SMS, Baltia is once again on the cutting edge. Once certified, Baltia will truly be ahead of its peers when it comes to maintenance, safety, and overall FAA compliance.

In all seriousness, the FAA really does appreciate everything Baltia is doing. Baltia is step by step solving a long standing problem (37% failure rate of evacuation slides) for the FAA.

A feather in the FAA's cap.''

''Does anyone else (besides myself) know that the manufacturer supplied an official letter stating that the slide issue was completely out of Baltia's control, that the finalized reports to the FAA were submitted earlier this week, and now Baltia is just waiting for the FAA to sign off on the results and give them the thumbs up (which is expected sometime early next week)? ''
Mit, keep in mind that this is the first time that the FAA process is being scrutinized by public eyes.

''Imagine a crime scene, where perhaps there was a homicide. Do you think the Detectives would allow anyone to cross the yellow line and expose the area and the investigation process to the eyes of the world?''
