DL 2594 Slide Deployment - 5/12/2015
DL2594, A320 scheduled from DEN to LGA had an accidental slide deployment. I heard from a DL gate agent that a flight attendant accidentally deployed it. Appears to have happened sometime between unloading the inbound and boarding the outbound. Anyone have additional details?

I think repacking a slide is north of $25k - a good chunk of an FA's annual salary.

Probably depends on the situation but I imagine if it was a failure on the FA's part they may be dinged and/or fired. There have been stories on FT about this happening before. Here is an old thread on an air crew forum about accidental slide deployment: http://www.airlinecrew.net/vbulletin.../t-167901.html
