Precisely Monroe, other air lines no doubt are flying around with faulty slides from that vendor. That fact is the point of Baltia getting a pass for successfully completing the mini (with a reasonable time frame for correcting that slide like the other air lines will get if FAA issues a bulletin to correct those slides).
In other words, other airlines shouldn't be allowed to fly anywhere with their defective slides if Baltia can't get a pass on this mini because of a faulty slide (because of some vendor's mistake). Other air lines are likely flying around making revenue with their most likely faulty slide(s).
Baltia needs to be treated equally with the other air lines.
