"I'm Not Feeling It" In a widely reported incident that went viral, an American Airlines pilot canceled a flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu. The flight had already faced issues, including a leaky faucet in the galley on the first aircraft, leading to a plane change. However, on the second aircraft, the pilot noticed a high engine oil pressure reading.
Even though maintenance assured the crew that the plane was safe to fly, the pilot was not convinced. He made an announcement to the passengers, which was captured on video, stating: "They've told us that the plane is good to go, but I'm not really feeling it. I'm not going to leave the ground if I'm not completely certain that we have an airworthy aircraft." The pilot's honest and direct communication was met with applause from the passengers. The flight was ultimately canceled, but the pilot's decision was widely praised by the public and other aviation professionals for adhering to the "safety first" principle, especially on a long trans-Pacific flight with limited diversion points. <https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/aviation?__eep__=6&__cft__%5b0%5d=AZXiU_3L t4cQTVWPksuL-lnqGCa-O9s6ebVv-vtIKA-UPpQ_H-ZgRulhcKW5Kg6QHP49w8Ims0X4PGy6faoT VAKOI-aljjDy6qey-65QG2fRE_tyiYlaNwV_7jN19b3cAfdXI71NgSBXi_GcGGX2pQzRh48yn5xm -lUoQIziaZydbbhLVYQMZlxE0bPa7BJSmVI&__tn__=*NK-R> #aviation <https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/aviationlovers?__eep__=6&__cft__%5b0%5d=AZ XiU_3Lt4cQTVWPksuL-lnqGCa-O9s6ebVv-vtIKA-UPpQ_H-ZgRulhcKW5Kg6QHP49w8Ims0X4PG y6faoTVAKOI-aljjDy6qey-65QG2fRE_tyiYlaNwV_7jN19b3cAfdXI71NgSBXi_GcGGX2pQzRh4 8yn5xm-lUoQIziaZydbbhLVYQMZlxE0bPa7BJSmVI&__tn__=*NK-R> #aviationlovers
