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!

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!
