69 ASA RJ's Grounded

[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.

April 1 is a new quarter folks.

April 1 is a new quarter folks.

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

OUch.

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?

You secure that sheet cooper.

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

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

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

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.

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

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
