What was found

CREW REPORTED THAT WHEN THEY PULLED THE POWER BACK FOR DESCENT, THE CABIN ALTITUDE WOULD CLIMB. INCREASED THE POWER AND THE CABIN WOULD STABILIZE. FOUND THE 1159SCB202-2 BAGGAGE DOOR SEAL BATCH NR 01-0004. UNIT FAILED AT THE MOLD LINE WHERE THE INFLATION TUBE JOINS THE SEAL. APPEARS THAT THE ADHESIVE DID NOT HOLD THE SEAL TOGETHER. THIS IS ONE OF THE NEW SILICON SEALS. THEY DO NOT SEEM TO BE HOLDING UP AS WELL AS THE OLD STYLE SEALS.
