## Discrepancy

FLIGHT ATTENDANT REPORTED A ELECTRICAL SMELL.  VERIFIED AN EXTREMELY LARGE AMOUNT OF INSECT CARCASSES COVERING THE ENTIRE AIRCRAFT REMOVED, FOUND COALESCER BAGS DIRTY, CLEANED. RAN BOTH ENGINES THROUGH ALL POWER PHASES WITH AND WITHOUT AIR CONDITIOING, NO ABNORMALITIES. THE STRANGE SMELL WAS NOT REPLICATED AT ANYTIME.OK FOR SERVICE.
