Narrative:
Once again door assist bottle pressure low at door 1L and 2L. Mechanics came onboard and filled up the bottles. One chronic issue that continues to happen with our airbus planes. How many more planes are out there with assist door bottles low? I am inclined to believe that this is an issue that is happening too often and nothing is being done about it.
