Wouldn't it be interesting if the media got a hold of this story! Delta Airline and many other Airlines are flying with slides that are proven to fail from a unreliable manufacture! These Airlines still continues to fly passages unsafely across the US and many other locations around the world even though the FAA is fully aware of the issue. Yet a Airline that has shown to be extremely competent and has rectified the slide issue on there 747 is being denied by the FAA to fly passengers safely to their destination and stalling them to reach certification!

The press would have a field day with that one! Might have to lead to something like that if things don't resolve soon!
