Another Kalitta Crash-Bogota...

[FBN0223]

Yea, my Delta buddy while on furlough at Kalitta had four engine failures, including one at 30W and another high speed RTO. Recurrent for him was a snap as well.

Mesalitta!

About the time Kallita is shut down by the FAA I'm sure Mesa's CEO will need another job. So, J.O. and Kalitta will get together and create the pit airline of the industry. They will probably fly 747s for about $19 an hour in the right seat and around $50 an hour in the left seat and talk about the greatness of their airline. Anything's possible....

Wow. Add one more person to the 'The General is a tool' list.

 

[Say Again Over]

Not a 747 driver, but how low on power could they be when full of flowers? Hope the crew is ok.

Some of my friends narrowly escaped death and others are fighting to stay alive. I am sure you can understand why I am not amused. You need a lesson in tact.

General Lee is a pathetic troll who's well known for his posts. Nothing he or she has to say has any value...don't let it bother you.

Give it a break. I was making fun of the FARC, not Kalitta pilots. Lock it up.

If I understand the comment you are wondering if they were heavey??? The flowers are packed in something to keep them moist, ie lots of water so yeah the loads can be very heavey

 

[Bob_Sacamano]

OK, which weighs more, a ton of lead or a ton of feathers?

Does a ton of birds weigh less if you keep 1/2 of them flying at all times?

Flower loads going out of BOG are usually loaded right at the balanced field length, requiring max power for takeoff. Any airplane and engines that do this routinely require tip-top engine maintenance, which a lot of the scumbag freight outfits do not do.
