“Without the jetway, you can't use that exit anymore because the slide won't deploy. There's not enough room…

this comment doesn't make any sense.

You can hear the pilot or first officer say no emergency to the tower and was nonchalant. It was a women’s voice. Was there a connection because the crew member was a woman and why wouldn’t you declare an emergency?

The pilot should have declared an emergency... then fire crews would have been waiting.

I think it means that the front exit is so high, it needs a jetway at the gate. Nothing else, apparently, fits.

The reason the passengers evacuated out onto the wing is because the person sitting by the wing door saw the fire, opened the door and got the hell out and everyone else followed him.

No big deal. Just a plane full of people that is on FIRE.
We’ll look into it after we have our Starbucks.

With three exits near the burning engine unusable and one front exit unusable due to the jetway, passengers had limited ways out. Then there was the handwringing over the passengers using the over wing exits.

Well duh, thy are for emergency exit and everybody made it out. It would be nice to point that out.

P.S. The seats at those exits have decent economy class leg room too.

I worked ARRF for 8 years at Alliance airport in Fort Worth. We could be at almost any point on the field within 3 minutes of being called even from a dead sleep. If they weren’t there…they weren’t called out.

IMO the firefighters and ground crews were probably too lazy to stop staring at their cell phones get off their butz and do some actual work .

i have visited and lived in some different places but CO has some of the laziest, lame inexoerienced and workers on the planet, on par with Africa.

I am almost afraid to even get my tires changed here, I have to recheck the torque and take it back a few times to get the balnce done right, this may be a nationwide trend with this generation

The plane was NOT on fire when the call was made initially, it was was for engine vibration.

“The problem with the DEI fire was that the jetway hadn’t been pulled up to the aircraft yet,” Feith said.”

Why am I not surprised?

So they didn’t notice the fire until they parked the plane in a crowded area?

So it was the girl pilot saying no emergency that caused the lack of fire response.
