And they were not removed by Reagan. The roof had to be redone and they were simply not re-installed because they leaked so badly and weren't worth the time and expense.
There should be a switch in the cockpit that automatically locks all overhead bins if the pilots anticipate an evacuation. This information should be given to the passengers during the pre flight briefing.
It should be remembered that Spirit makes the 737 bare bones fuselage then ships it by train to Boeing. This fuselage had the door plug installed on models that have one. When the fuselage gets to Boing the door plug is removed so the interior team can finish out the component then Boeing (not Spirit) does the final door plug installation.
If it turns out the door plug were improperly installed this is going to all on Boeing.
As I told the anesthesiologist shortly before one of my many general anesthesia experiences:
The only way I'm going to know whether I died in this room is when I wake up. There is no difference between anesthesia and death.
In the US the Carter administration stopped spent fuel recycling due to it's fears of nuclear proliferation. Didn't make sense to me at the time and still doesn't.
I worked in commercial nuclear operations for 23 years. It was a two unit site with unit one built first. It was designed as two identical units. By the time unit 2 was finished the regulations had changed so much that final reactor required operators to get a seperate license for each unit.
Many of the doctors at the VA I go to are retired then took the VA job. They see 8 to 10 patients a day and spend between 20 to 30 minutes with each. They work 8am to 4pm and go home.
On the other hand surgeons and their support staff have crazy schedules.
