Just a minor mishap. wheel in grass after attempting 180 on taxiway

 

[Data]

The passengers were lucky, they probably walked into the terminal 15-20 minutes earlier than normal, what with the 45 minutes it takes the station to park us.


Edit: Disregard, it was Tulsa to Atlanta.

Just out of curiosity, does the nose wheel steering drop offline on the 70 like it did sometimes on the 50 when you needed it most?

Not according to the data I have. I'm working on a project at the national level to have that MEL removed by the end of the year.

Last time I was in Tulsa: 5 jets for 2 staffed gates of the 3 Delta owns. 3 jets waiting on the 2 to turn. both jets had just gotten there. 3 of them were actually on time for the 2 gates available.

bottom line: 5 jets and 1 station operator = 4 different companies all apologizing to passengers and none of the companies were Delta.

Delta has 3 gates there but REAS only pays for 2 gate agents to save money so they can keep winning contracts but HEY!, I can't complain cause that is exactly what ASA does too. No worries though, we are properly staffed finally
