## Discrepancy

CLEANERS RELEASED THE TAIL CONE EXPECTING ACCESS TO VENTRAL STAIRS.  THE TAIL CONE DROPPED BUT THE EMERGENCY EVACUATION SLIDE DID NOT DEPLOY.  TEMPORARY REPAIRS MADE TO THE TAIL CONE AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS FERRIED FROM MCI TO MSP.  THE TAIL CONE AND THE EVACUATION SLIDE WERE BOTH REPLACED, RII COMPLETED, AND THE FUNCTIONAL CHECKS WERE GOOD.
