Slides Inflation Problem Completely Beyond Baltia's Control (Vendors)
Critically important, worth repeating:
The slides inflation problem is completely beyond Baltia's control because Baltia doesn't pack the slides. The slides are packed by FAA certified slide packing companies.

Regarding the Baltia situation, and the one-year hold-up in getting a passing grade on a "mini-evac" test ("mini" because it's done without "passengers," done with crew only), this has been due to mechanical problems, mostly with slides inflation. The slides inflation problem is completely beyond Baltia's control because Baltia doesn't pack the slides. The slides are packed by FAA certified slide packing companies. It should be noted that industry-wide, according to the NTSB the slide failure rate in airline accidents and incidents has been 37%, which has been of great concern to both the NTSB and FAA.
