If they only had a union this wouldn't have happened

Looks like 2 of the 3 could had no APU. Nice. Fix your planes.

 

[spudskier]

was gonna say, maybe if they'd fix a few APUs, this type of stuff wouldn't happen... same problem at ASa.

Anybody with any balls should refuse a plane with no APU:
1.) Hot summer days
2.) During the winter when anti-ice is required for T/O or landing.

That would go a long way towards solving the problem.

The CRJ200 is NOT meant to be operated with no APU in less than perfect conditions.

give me a break, these are purely ground handling issues. Sounds like some rampers need to get fired.

2 of the 3 A/C were 700's...

 

[GOULET!]

That's what you get for $8/hr.

Close.

N614SK is a CRJ-700.

N709BR is a CRJ-200.

N454SW is a CRJ-200.

Odds are 2 of the 3 A/C were 200's.

We had a gate agent smack a 900 with the jetway in MEM. Ripped a hole in it! They said "That jetway never did work right" Duh, why use it?
