ASA evac in JFK?

[skidbuggy]

Was there an incident earlier this evening in JFK?

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.

So Air Wisconsin had a -200 with an MLG up landing in PHL and Mesa had a -700 MLG up the next day. Now we've gotta -900 with the same issue. Anyone hear on the cause of the Air Wisconsin / Mesa gear issue?

Thanks guys. I'm glad nobody got hurt.

Hope everything went well... 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!
