Then main reason that a replacement plane was so fast to respond was because Denver (my home airport) is a MAJOR hub for United!

@joshphs no, worse. the repairmen were taliban :)

I never heard of this incident before. This video shows a MAJOR problem. The leading edge of the wing is a critical area. This was no minor problem. If the pilots had inadvertently extended the leading edge slats, with one of them being damaged, the plane could have easily flipped over and crashed into the ground. Was this the result of outsourced maintenance?

larger jets mostly have a hollow leading edge that hot, (engine)compressor bleed air is pumped into. it's usually a nice shiny unpainted surface (paint would burn off). i think electric heaters are mostly used on props and pitot tubes.
