3.5 hours after landing in SLC, I can't find that it's departed yet. That's a little bit long for the standard medical diversion, so are we looking at a mechanical issue?

There's an interesting descent/ascent from FL350 to FL300 and back while enroute over Nevada, before the descent into SLC begins. (see tracklog, 1142-1149 MDT)

SLCguy, are ya around?

Cool Smile Just saw that in another thread. I'd consider heading up myself, but I'm off to work in an hour or so.

So my friend Sergio was on that flight going home SFO-ORD-MAD.

I got this from him:

Quote:
Hi Mike, we have arrived to Madrid THIS MORNING. We had a problem with San Francisco-Chicago flight (cabine pressure) and the aircraft landed in Salt Lake City and the flight was cancelled. Because of this we needed to go first to Boston and then from Boston to Madrid (24 hours delayed in total).

Wow...
