Re: exhaust odor

["Les & Terri Milam" <Tmilam@kscable.com>]

Mark,
What we have to do is call with a 10-15 minute ETA, and Engineering shuts
down the air handlers till engine shut down.  Then we have to notify them
again, call from within the hospital, prior to startup and liftoff.  Every
once in a while they don't get the system shut down in time and we'll get a
few "We smelled you guys were here".  Hope this helps.
Les
