for the last time, I just was told that they are taking them all out of service due to this. They will be canceling flights.

EDIT: WOW, talk about stating the obvious as it WAS written just above this post. Sorry as I was getting the two little ones to sleep and thought I had seen the entire post. Inserting foot in mouth. :roll:
