| #15 Well part of my first comment didn’t make it. “There are 3 ICD codes for walking into a lamppost” I miss the old days of CPT codes |

| #9 I wonder if this is a by product of the shift to turbofans Or just extended shift hours for the reduced workforce. |

| #7 I am informed that the term among military ground crews is "get Hoovered up". I wonder if this is a by product of the shift to turbofans, which pull in a great deal more air the the older turbojets. 'Cause that's what gives them more propulsion. |

| #5 There's just something not right with the airline industry as a whole, everything from pilots with heart issues to computer problems to passengers going full retard on the plane or at the airport. |

| #2 You know there is actually an ICD-10 medical code (will verify that you are 'human') for the effects of being sucked into a jet engine: V97.33XD is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of sucked into jet engine, subsequent encounter. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis. Well I guess it's useful after all... |

| #1 Second instance in recent memory; a regional aligned /American saw a worker ingested after she violated a safety zone set up to allow main engine ops during turnaround due to inop APU. Details on this Delta incident lacking. Regardless, tragic for all concerned. |
