See the twist to the right of my hand...it looks like it was done on purpose.

Probably got caught on the nut and twisted when the line was being put on. That airbrake line is pretty durable stuff though.

does your CTIS work? Computer throwing flashing lights? Certainly looks like it would slow rate air moves about.... if it does would think it could potentially be seen as an error by CTIS computer due to that ?

When I was troubleshooting my airbrake issue I found at least 4 air hoses that where just like that. Seems like pure laziness to me. I don't understand why someone would do something like this and leave it that way.

I haven't even checked the CTIS air lines so I may find more of the same.

As Will said it spins with the nut causing it to twist.

Not laziness, just enlisted army grunts.
