69 ASA RJ's Grounded

[ACL65PILOT]

I can tell you that DAL is trying to do recovery flights. Had a few 88 on the 0730 push going to MEM.

 

[SiuDude]

More proof that it's a hoax - it's on the AJC website now. The last story they got right was in 1986.

Now lets hope they put them back together correctly... I don't trust anything coming out of the hangar, especially things marked 'RUSH'.

$5 says there will be no profit sharing this quarter.

We didn't even make 95% completion factor for the month. That is how Delta was able to cancel Freedom's contract -- repeated months of below 95%.

2nd quarter is screwed too. That makes what, 3 quarters in a row that maintenance had screwed you guys on your bonus? Sorry guys

CRJ,

You are such loser. Obviously an ASA lifer(not that there is anything wrong with that, but you appear to be the type that got turned down at the majors and have a huge chip) Is anyone as brilliant as you?? I mean your bash everyone, with nothing positive to say about anyone/anything. Mgmt, Alpa and of course you save your best for the Delta pilots. I am not sure if I should feel sorry for you or depise you.

It sure is great to know that this is totally the fault of upper mgmt. Just when I was starting to think Skyw ran such a good operation.....

-Whoever the hell is responsible over in mtc should be summarily fired and then given a "pillow party" in the parking lot.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

Well as I recall ASA awarded DAL Tech Ops a very nice contract to overhaul engines last year. Now this does not sound like an overhaul but a stage inspection so it might be ASA's fault, but DAL may get some egg on its face too.

Ha Ha!

How do I transfer out of this Chicken sheet outfit?

No kidding. Imagine for just a second? This guy, with all his brilliance could have become anything. Rocket Scientist. Brain surgeoun. World leader.
But imagine how honorable this guy is to just settle for lifer ASA f/o when he could have been anything!
WOW! Just, WOW!

You secure that sheet cooper.

 

[CFI2766]

There was zero chance of us getting performance plus payout this quarter, anyway. This just cements the deal.

There will be a huge rush to judgment. Hopefully, we will also be judged on how we recover from this.

I hope that we, ASA, don't drop the ball on the recovery from this, though. There is an opportunity here.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

April 1 is a new quarter folks.

 

[CFI2766]

April 1 is a new quarter folks.

Nothing like starting off the quarter already in the hole from a performance standpoint.

OUch.

 

[COOPERVANE]

Do you think it was a coincidence that this audit was completed the night before a new quarter started?

Gives us some time to make up for the resulting metrics.

Several days ago, one of my flights was an hour late due to an "LC1". I noticed both cowls were off and thought it was odd. Does MTC remove the engine cowls for an LC1? Do you suppose it was actually this inspection?

Game over man!! Game over!!!!!

Sounds like all the Connection carriers are pitching in with spare a/c and crews where they can, as well.

 

[General Lee]

I hear it is something to do with the improper tracking of the serial numbers of some kind of engine parts which are required to be boroscoped.

Looks like something some our new "all-star" top mtc managers (formerly Delta-one and all) should have caught. I wonder if RA is dumping his riff-raff on us to destroy the operation.....

-Great plan for these losers-take an early-out from DAL, get a six-sigma certification and go f-up some other airline! All the while getting paid massive coin!

-Gee, Thanks!

Great job McFry. Time to go back to the french fry maker at McRonalds. And thanks for blaming RA and others, when it was your guys' fault. All you can do is BLAME, when it was YOUR problem. Now SkyWest is getting dumped on too, with downgrades. Yikes.

Bye Bye--General Lee

They knew about this well before the official announcement.

 

[COOPERVANE]

They knew about this well before the official announcement.

Probably why it is only 69 instead of 110 inspections!!

 

[blesko]

looks like they need to inspect the 7th stage sfetzer valve and prepare the new one with some ball bearings, 3 in 1 oil, some gauze pads, and some preston anti-freeze, wait...make that quaker state...its all ball bearings these days

What are you talking about? General knows something that SAPA and nobody at SkyWest knows? Your reach amazes me....

 

[SSDD]

I think he meant the stock is being downgraded to "sell."

 

[General Lee]

Here you go from a Reuters article this morning:


After the news, S&P Equity Research reiterated its "sell" rating on SkyWest shares and cut its price target to $9, noting that the company was already facing capacity cuts, decreased utilization and rising costs.
"This grounding will exacerbate all of those issues, in our view," S&P analyst Jim Corridore said in note

That SkyWest stock isn't getting help from these ASA problems.

Actually, General, he does have a point. Every Delta manager we've inherited or hired has turned out to be a disaster. Come to think of it, I can't think of a single former DAL'er thats come here and done a half decent job. That's why SkyWest came in and "cleaned the pipes", so to speak.

Dude? WTH or WTF are you doing here on these boards?

Get a life.

Getting a rise out of us lowlife regionals must be much more of a jolly than one would ever imagine.

I just don't get it. Surely, there has got to be something on TV?

But I guess my own act of quoting your spoo is akin to the old woman; faced with a flasher in the park, giving you that satisfaction-that satisfaction you can only hope will fill the hole in your poor soul.

Please don't reply. My thread history is a plunder of great thoughts and stupid rants, which is better left to its great side.

 

[pipers]

My apologizes General. Read the posts too fast. Opps.

 

[SquirrelDog]

Haha

I just looked over here at the regional threads and you guys are funny, really!!! (and no i don't fly for the majors).

Keep up the laughs, this industry needs a little more humor in these times.

Yep-

It sure was MY FAULT, since I just retired from DAL and came over to f-up some mx record-keeping..... There about 4 of these guys RUNNING MTC now.... I think some of them will be accountable for this.

-Still sticking with "McRonald's?" That may have been funny for a couple of three-year-olds the first time, but undoubtedly it has begun to wear...

P.S.-I don't MAKE the fries, I COOK them.... They are manufactured by that big inbred redneck you may remember from LBB....
-Darn, you just are that stupid, Gen,,,

So, OO is now running a grand total of 5 CRJ2s and 10 CRJ9s in ATL to cover for ASA. And just a few months ago the Mngt. was wondering what they were going to do with the overabundance of flight crews.
