a) Get the ground engineers to trace and fix the problem
b) Call Boeing for assistance
or
c) Sacrifice a goat
If you're Nepal Air, the answer would seem to be (c)...
The corporation Sunday decided to worship Lord Bhairavnath, and sacrificed two goats-- one black and another white-so that all would be well with its aircraft. The sacrifice was offered at NAC's hanger at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) at around 3:45 pm. NAC top bosses, including Managing Director Gautam Das Shrestha were present to offer worship and goat blood to the deity, said an NAC official. "The decision to sacrifice was made after Kansakar consulted with the top management this morning."
Yep, splashing goat blood around a multi-million dollar piece of kit, that ought to fix it; mind you don't get any in the pitot tubes though boys. Religion, it's utterly insane in any language.
A little side note, a press photographer happened to be present at the time and snapped a couple of piccies and the goat sacrificing senior management, realising that hacking apart livestock to appease gods who were upset with your airplane would probably not play too well promptly arrested the photographer confiscating his cameras which were later returned with the pictured deleted.
They had not however accounted for the most wonderful recovery software SanDisk give you these days... oops!
