It was essentially record keeping that killed Value Jet...the Feds take it really seriously.

Well, I’d argue the crash killed the name Value Jet rather than the airline itself. After the accident Value Jet bought AirTran Airlines, merged the two companies and became AirTran Airways. In a sense Value Jet is alive and doing quite well. “Feds take record keeping really seriously” – yeah, especially at smaller airlines…


Back to the subject -I belive all IOE instructors will be VERY busy for the next week or so!

If the oxygen generators had been properly labled there would have been no crash-they never would have been put on the plane-right back to record keeping. I know the history and am really glad that they survived as a company.

To bad the ioe guys and gals only get thier override during actual instruction!

we studied the value jet crash in A&P school and the aircraft exceeded the speed of sound in the dive attempting to stop the fire.

My point exactly, outsourced mx and their sloppy record keeping was the problem. Funny thing - today AirTran uses their own mx almost entirely yet many majors, among them their big ATL competition uses outsourced mx, and part of it is in Mexico - yet no one seems to mind huh? Amazing how big airlines can get away with stuff small ones can’t even touch.

Is this a different subject or? Confused here.

I don’t think they were attempting to “dive to stop the fire,” the airplane was in “freefall” as the crew and the pax were pretty much burning up of the heat generated by the generators, they were probably (and in a sad way - hopefully) all passed out.

Back to the real subject – hope Corpex recovers once again, not for the sake of the owner mafia but for the sake of all the great employees there!

I'm guessing.... No

Amazingly, you are wrong.. I do actually have a job for a few more days!

 

[Way2Broke]

Tram,
The question was not if you have a job, it was if you need to go to work. Will you guys be flying again tomorrow? If not, why bother showing up?

 

[Tram]

No, no.. The question is.. Would I go to work if I was not flying..

The answer to that is no...

I am going to work.. I have a MKL turn at like 1:30..

 

[Way2Broke]

So you the planes are back up and flying, or they are planing to be back up tomorrow?

 

[Tram]

Appears like they are doing some limited flying today..

Of our 50ish pilots, I think 25ish are legal.. Appearantly I am one of the legal eagles..

I just got an email from a reporter from a newspaper in IL. She is looking for any piot or former pilot that is willing to talk to her. If that is anyone on this site, PM me and I will give you her email.

Av8or-not really a different subject, most airlines if you are a IOE Captian you get the override for all flight time...logical because you carry the Check Airman responsibility on every leg-it's just more "411" on Regions Air.

Tram, lay the pipe to them...fly overtime to the sixth day while they recover-it's the only chance you will ever have to approach making what you are worth! They need you. Deal with them and tell them what you want and get the payback in writing! Shouldn't you be coming up on upgrade? Maybe you should be in the next class...paybacks are such a beotch, aren't they?

Nail them while you have the chance!

Cash talks, BS walks...two $9,000 deposits in to my personal account and I will answer her on my cellphone. If she is much of a reporter, she could make that happen...of course, that will be just to get me to talk to her about the rest of the money-she will have to set me up an account in the Caymans or something...

Booohahahaha.

I'm not holding my breath...

 

[Way2Broke]

Belch you should talk to her..... that would be priceeeelesssss

 

[belchfire]

I wonder if she is hot...maybe we could meet in the Caymans to "consumate" the deal!

Of course I would have to share some of the bounty with my inside contacts! If it was big enough I could become the next "mystery investor".

hehehehehehe...

Hey, WTF is a 121 certificate worth these days, anyhow?
