Comair Emergency.. What happened???

[Flyin2low]

The passengers were bussed to MIA. Now they can takeoff under Part 91 operations to reposition.

Isn't the longest runway like 5600' there? They would have been significantly load limited for T/O anyway.

Who cares!?!?!?!?!?!

Who cares!?!?!?!?!?!

Say it AGAIN!!!

:laugh:

 

[Mike man]

Again!!!

 

[WalterSobchak]

Again!!!

The proper response would have been...

"IT!"

Ya know, this is the first time I've ever heard of anybody at Comair going to an offline alternate. Anyone else?

Yep,

Several years ago a SkyWest EMB-120 enroute from PSC to PDX lost oil in the #1 engine. IIRC due to a freeze plug in a new engine blowing out. Oil bled out in seconds. Naturally between PSC and PDX there are not a lot of great places to put down so in this case DLS was where it got put down.

Pax got bussed back to PSC, crew was picked up by a guy from the station who when out to get them and MX got to spend a couple of days in The Dalles getting the bird all fixed up.

Delta has had scheduled RJ service to/from Key West which is about 1,000' shorter....not really that big a deal.

Yea, but they are weight limited out of there also.

Thanks for the insight....I'm sure it will be a consideration when they locate the airplane 50 some odd miles south to MIA for the outbound leg!

Besides, no amount of gel can keep hair that spikey!

 

[McNugget]

Any one know what happened to this flight?
