I hear the mechanics had a big meeting. They were told to do all that is written up, do not complain, and do not converse with the pilots.

With that being said, it appears they are approaching this at a different angle.

This morning, with the passengers all boarded and ready for an on time departure, a mechanic comes up and says he needs to do a daily inspection. But this was no normal inpsection. They made us deboard the entire aircraft. They went thru the plane like a fine tooth comb. Checking every light bulb, potentially corded tires, first flight of the day checks, etc... Needless to say, we left 1.5 hours late.

It appears their strategy is to tackle each plane entirely on the daily inspections, in hopes nothing else can be found by our pilots.. Hopefully they don't know all the secret no go items..

Oh gee, sounds like what an airline SHOULD be doing. But it'll last about a week and then be back to letting everything slide until it breaks.
 
I see. So is your goal to be late on purpose? Thats the havoc? How hard is that? You should all be fired for gross negligence.
Oh, and on behalf of all the pax who missed their connecting flights, thanks. Another reason to fly mainline...more mature pilots.

Our goal is to fly safe. If maintenance would correct and fix problems, there would be nothing to write up. Go back to your Microsoft Flight Sim and practise your approaches so you can get hired at Mesa.

Why do you keep responding to ASA threads if you are so tired of seeing them?

Good luck guys. There are always going to be a few out there like this guy, but 99% of us support you.
 
Why do you say the mechanics are striking back? Did they not just have the aircraft deboard? They aren't the happiest of people these days either.
