Pardon the continuation of thread drift:
This post jogged my memory and I found the following posts by others about MCI CIP mods. I wouldn’t be too boastful about the MCI OH base work. There is a lot of revenue being lost as a result of no power and the makeshift IFE in the 767 fleet.
<_< ------- And they closed MCI that did over 50% of the 767 interior mods! ------- Good show guys! You sure showed us now didn't you!!!?

763 #365 had its CIP at MCI. When the p/ports were disabled, the new B/class seats STOPPED working!! An internal audit/ investigation has found several "misplaced" wires on the WRONG circuit breaker, the wrong side of the correct breaker (UNprotected) or terminal post. The B/class & Forward T/class p/port wiring was inspected and found "serviceable". The main cabin p/ports were a different story!!! Avionics guys, still at AA, from MCI, check your maint. records for the p/port T/class installation, get your ASAP reports ready!!!!

I would say within the next month, this will be a bump in the road in the rearview mirror, UNLESS you were involved at MCI!!
I had 381 here in LAX on Tuesday. Same thing. Miss-wired completly. Business class seats wired to the load side of the system 2 CB instead of the power side, the 3 power wire jumpers connected to the load side of the CB's instead of the power side. The wires connected to the wrong CB are to short to reach the correct CB and will require new wires spliced in. We've been told 351 may be screwed up too and is being routed to LAX, now that we know what to look for, to check it out.
About 2-3 years ago as these 767's were coming out of MCI after the C.I.P. mod we had a slew of airplanes OTS here due to problems with cabin lighting issues. Of the 4 or 5 airplanes that I was personally involved in we found mistakes in the wiring hookups that were done during the C.I.P. mod. Usually something different with each airplane. We had to access the ECO for each airplane and go step by step through it to figure out what was done wrong. Some of these planes sat here OTS for 2-3 days partlly due to manning issues here in LAX but none the less they sat here OTS due to mistakes at MCI. No idea how these aircraft were getting past any kind of an ops check after the compleation of the mod. They sure cranked these mods out quick though.
