Air Tahoma News!!!

[flyinyourShorts]

She WAS on the jumpseat, and if everything went find the fed was going to give her a type that day(the report says the next day, but the story I heard was that day) also. The only people on the plane were RE, the fed, and KR.

Refrence the NTSB report....

"The jump seat observer identified herself as the daughter of the airplane's owner and was reportedly preparing for a commercial type rating in the CV240 the following day"

"The three persons aboard the Convair 240 were uninjured"



Even if she was an observer, I would say it was in her best interests to point out the fact the gear was not down and the warning horn was going off. Especially when she was a type rating canidate that was going to go next(or soon).

Was she the safe-t officer then or was she promoted to that position after the gear up? What ever happened to that pilot..

RE is back with Air Tahoma as a 240 Captain. Seems the regionals don't like his little obsession with alcohol......

Atleast he's confortable with crashing N156PA

sometimes its good to vent

It could save lives.

Can anyone tell me how a companies head of safety can live in W.A. and keep safety issues under control in O.H.???? do you think they commute everyday to O.H.??? anyone???

 

[BTSOMT]

They might still be jumpseating on US Air?

 

[JetsByJune]

i wonder if the safety officer for this company was in town when the last 580 crashed ??? wasnt she the one in the last crash of a convair ???

 

[cargopod]

maybe she jumpseated in.

 

[BTSOMT]

Was she around for the Convair 240 engine fire the other night? I wonder if she's working hard to solve all of their safety problems? Kind of tough when your dad is the owner and he wouldn't let you if you tried.

 

[flyinyourShorts]

I always thought it was tough for the Director of Safety(a part 119 required position) to live in Seattle but work for a company in Columbus. Pretty easy to get things past with that kind of distance.

Still, if your the owners daughter I guess you can do what you want.

Wowzers!

they provide a service to the aviation community by offering jobs to low-time pilots who don't mind the risk....They also provide a vital feeder service to the larger companies who contract them out. Without feeders, the large companies cannot survive...

You sound like management. And "real freight dogs shut up and fly" sounds like something that management would say, too.

Just like to point out that this guy is NOT me!!! He's a clone trying to screw with me. Notice the SPACE after PCL instead of an UNDERSCORE. You won't find me defending places like Air Tahoma.

Identity theft strikes Flightinfo.com. That sucks, man. Good luck shaking this guy off your A$$....
