ASA CR7 Jumps the shark...

[JumpersAway]

It really is crazy that they don't use a checklist-it's a 50 cent piece of paper for cryin' out loud. Sorta reminds me of a time when a crew pushed back from the gate, pulled back in for a maintenance issue, and allowed MX to work in the cockpit. Crew got back up front, started the engine, and hot started it to molten slurry- Thrust levers moved up to "Idle" by the mechanic. Pilot went to start second engine to taxi back into gate- that one hot started too because it was in "idle". Granted, it's the pilots fault for not double checking, but if MX used a checklist and it was mandatory, would it have happened? It's all about redundancy...........

oh come on, 4 hours later and still no pictures.
what is this board coming to!

You're not kidding. I mean, c'mon. We had Saddam Hussein on viral video just hours after his execution...and yet nobody can produce photos through the fence of a minimum security airport?! Thats it! I'm going back to my tabloid magazine. For crying out loud!

asarat is right on.....

Kerveball gets credit for the report, something went amiss while pasting his quote.

Bound to happen as they hire the cream of the crap in every position.

Where the pics at?

Details are sketchy, but congrats to the mx guy that sent the CR7 into the BTR hanger, ripping the engine off and hitting 2 50's!

That mx guy was a woman I'm told. That explains it all! She was a recent new hire too. And now a recent unhired.

Looks like Freedum get's to do some flying to take over our badly damaged airplanes...It is stressed as temporary, lets hope so!

System 3 on the RJ is electrically operated, and it powers the brakes.

Don't give that answer in an oral.

She started the 700's with the throttless above idle! Hit the starter, etc. When the FADEC recognized the throttle position........off to the races! Of course, standing up, no brake, no chocks, no hydraulics!

Nice job. 30+ Million in damages!

Freedum taking over some florida flying from ASA starting this weekend due to the three lost airframes.

I hope our insurance is covering this. I have no doubt they will try not to.

Can you say premium increase?

MESA (still) SUCKS!

As long as it's not proved as negligence they will, according the MCC. I agree they will try though.

Hmmm, can't use the 'crack in the seat' comment...'cause the b1tch wasn't sitting in it!

Look at the bright side. At least now we might get a new cabin trainer at FSI! The door on that old Air Canada airframe is about to fall off the hinges it has been opened and closed so many times. Maybe 706EV can be born again at FSI!!

If the mechanic started #1 without energizing the electric hydraulic pumps for systems 2 or 3 then the only hydraulics for the brakes come from the accumulators. The inboard brakes are on 3 and outboards are on 2.

Most likely if it had been sitting for a while there wasn't much charge in the accumulators, it is also hard to step on the brakes if you are standing in the flight deck.

Got it. It was kind of a rhetorical question. I've never heard of anyone starting #1 first, just for that reason. We always start #2 first, period.

Apparently, a few things weren't done quite by the book, so it's pretty feasible.

I have pics, but don't know if I'll get in trouble.

Naw. Especially if the photos just happen to show up on flickr.com with a tag of asabtr.
