CRJ's getting grounded?

[10nCLR]

Comair had a %100 so I guess or maint was up to date...

Yeah, but a few of your old a/c, which we got recently, were on the list for inspections.

Anybody here this as well? Just got a call from a buddy said CRJ's are getting grounded at outstations? Something to do with "a protective sleeve and the IDG" Im off today just wondering if anybody has anymore detail. Sounds like the FAA is visiting everybody's MX.

It's bigger than you know!

 

[spudskier]

Well then inform us...

Enlighten us. 200's or 7/900's? Wiring, structrual..what?

FAA is on the prowl now, since they got their nuts cught in a vice with Soutwest. An AD came out and all carriers..I hope complied with it for the -100/200.
As posted earlier by Peter Griffin with a little editing to make it correct.

It was for a wiring harness connecting the IDG. There has to be a small plastic shield around the harness on certain serial number aircraft

AD was written a certain way that didn't reflect on each a/c uniquness. FAA went snoopin and decided that every aircraft in the specific s/n rage has to be reinspected by a specified time today or they willl have to be grounded. That's all I'm allowed to say for now.

Comair pilots and planes were flying mechanics all over the system last night "repairing" aircraft before the first flight of the day today.

The different aircraft the mechanics were in were "repaired" first and then they were sent out into the fleet.

I'm not sure, but I don't believe this is normal operations.

The deadline was 2 : 00, and all inspections have been completed, except for a couple that are being painted.

We had till noon today.

We had till noon today.

I wonder why Comair had a different deadline than asa?

The FAA snooped us on Thursday evening. We called Delta yesterday morning about it. Delta called ASA and SkyWest and told you guys to check your aircraft too, since they didn't want delays or mx cancellations. I guess the FAA hit you guys yesterday morning before Delta called. We accomplished a huge task last night and we kept a 100% copletion with our plan and are still at 100% today so far.

The AD is only 5 years old. Nothing like the FAA checking to see that it was taken care of in a timely manner.

They rushed a few to JFK friday night, and had a couple of planes there waiting to be checked for an AD.
