Alaska Airlines 261
Hi 12.145.174.220,

I noticed you'd added information to Alaska Airlines Flight 261 to the effect that tribology indicates that mixing the 2 lubricants had a corrosive effect on the screw. Can you provide a citation? The NTSB report doesn't mention this.

Please reply at my talk page or the article discussion page - I'm watching both. Ambarish 07:21, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I see. The problem is that this is a fairly controversial issue, and if the corrosion acceleration is true, it could be seen as pretty damning to Alaska. I've read the NTSB report as well as Alaska's and Boeing's submissions. While it's true that other carriers didn't experience the excessive end-play measurements, there maybe well be other reasons (as mentioned in the report). I don't believe such an authorative yet divisive remark belongs in the article without a citation. Any report would help, as we can re-word the statements to quote the report.
