CR7 Weight Restriction

[Mookie]

I love the ignore list. makes these threads soooo much shorter.

Also, the JAC restriction is due to the difference in take off profile b/t skywest and ASA, as it causes about 2-3000 lb weight difference between what each can carry.

I can't imagine trying to make an authoritive post about an aircraft I've never flown based on the strength of what someone in the JS said about it.

But GL if you feel comfortable, please continue.

Yeah, what the heck does a line check guy know at his own airline, right? He also said some Captain got some time off for screwing up on the differences ASA has with quarter inch clutter and what exactly was reported on the JAC wx. He cancelled his flight and then backed up the rest of the days flights with extra pax. When ASA discovered this and investigated, he was awarded with time off. Yeah, I must have just made that up....... And, I have flown the 757 into JAC from ATL a few times, and it was lovely. Coming around that butte and landing south is fun, right over the teepee--ranger park area. Awesome.

Hey general, I'm not sure about St. Croix, but I an tell you that the info you recieved on JAC is not correct, I've consistantly had 60+ and yet to leave anyone behind.

I don't know why you would willingly take an AE CRJ700 from ROC to DFW. Ouch

I can't stand deadheading in our planes. I'd suggest making it a two legger out of New York if at all possible.

Why would you willingly jeopardize yourself getting stuck somewhere trying to catch your connecting flight just because you didn't want to ride a jumpseat for a couple of hours??? It sucks up there, but not bad enough I would knock myself out of a one-leg commute somewhere.

If the Captain saw something that wasn't in line with what the ATIS was reporting, then the decision was appropriate. There is NO justification for a suspension here. None. Period, point-blank. If ASA management did in fact suspend that Captain, shame on them. And shame on the check airman for disclosing anything in your airplane. Stupid as he11.

He said the guy didn't fully understand the rules concerning the clutter, and cx'd the flight when he didn't have to, which caused major delays for very rich people trying to leave JAC. I guess you should know the rules, since you are the Captain, or maybe call someone and ask.
