What a weird story. MCIE mechanic claims that a 762 came into the Kansas City maintenance base containing up to 1000 mice, some alive, most dead:

I particularly enjoyed the "Joe's Carpet" jingle.
Leave it to the local news "Action News Investigators" to equate mice on board with terrrorism. I can only imagince the teasers they played all day long to try to entice their viewers into watching that night.

I would be surprised if there aren't mice on every plane, alive and/or dead. A couple of the little buggers sneak on the plane when it is in for maintenance and before you know it there is a thriving community.

I love during the wrap-up at the end the reporter said AA in a statement admitted it was only around 17 live mice! Way to go AA, keep cutting back on maint and the critters may literally cut/chew wires!
Maybe I'll bring a little Decon aboard my next flight to drop down the aisles.
