Sergeant Bachleda said the captain and the crew were trying to figure out how the aircraft was losing 6,000 pounds of fuel an hour and then they knew exactly what was going on.Good work by Sergeant Bachleda!
(But...the captain and crew were going to go oceanic to Japan unable to explain the loss of 6,000 pounds of fuel an hour if they didn't know exactly what was going on?)

......Sergeant Bachleda said the captain and the crew were trying to figure out how the aircraft was losing 6,000 pounds of fuel an hour and then they knew exactly what was going on. Good job by the sgt., but I gotta wonder by the above referenced statement if the flight deck crew might not have aborted the transoceanic part of the flight away?

The airline company showed their appreciation by seating them first-class. Far enough forward so that they wouldn't be looking at the wing.

It’s good to read about somebody who actually KNOWS something and what to do about it rather than just TALK.
Of course he was military and a straight talker and shooter. NO BS.
My dad, career Army was the same way. No baloney.

Apparently this Airman prefered to “Live in Fame” rather than to “Go down in Flame”. ;)
Good call!

"I told her you need to inform your captain before we go oceanic." Is that better or worse than a "water landing?"

“While conversing with the captain, the sergeant said he was hesitant at first to inform them about the leak . . .”
The fact that the Gov. has everyone scared to death to speak out is unAmerican. If he had remained silent for fear of reprisals from the Gov. they would have all been dead.
Thank god we still have Americans with guts to stand up for what they believe!

Years ago, I was flying back East from LA and noticed one of the engines (below the wing was) on fire. Told the stew, and we turned back to LAX. Of course, there was probably a warning light in the cockpit that the aircrew may have already seen....

Talk about putting the right person in the right place at the right time! I can't imagine anyone more qualified to recognize and report of fuel leak on an aircraft!

Good story and kudos to the alert airman but the crew already knew they had a leak so they weren’t going to continue anyway. Still, first class seats is certainly a nice reward!
