ASA evac in JFK?

[CA1900]

Anyone hear on the cause of the Air Wisconsin / Mesa gear issue?

Canadians.

Perfect example of why we don't need to fly fatigued.

Well no sh!t. Is fatigue a factor here? Do you know one way or the other? Well played...

I have no idea. I am just saying that a non-fatigued crew deals better with this stuff than one that has been flown to the edge. I hope fatigue was not an issue... I am sure the crew did a great job.

I think many people here have been trying to make the point that our staffing situation is dicey at best, and the potential for trouble is high.

Pilots who are not completely ragged out make fewer mistakes. This type of event is not a time for errors. It would be easy to simply staff our airline appropriately so that fatigue is never an issue. This is not rocket science. Simply staff the place right!

Job well done. Glad nobody got hurt.

Did we change our name again?

Paging buscap for comment about Regional Pilots.

Clearly, a mainline crew would have obviously got the gear down.

I believe being able to make it through the arduous interview process at Delta qualifies one to be able to simply will the gear down using superior intellect and flying skill.

Just ask the Gen...

Asa Crj900 main gear did not come down. They were going to HPN and diverts to JFK. Everyone got off OK. I hear the wing caught on fire and the fire department put it out. Crew did a fantastic job landing.
