CRJ engine problems out of DEN

[Oakum_Boy]

This is dumb. You run the checklist for severe engine damage, and fly the airplane to the nearest suitable airport.

Comparing this to Sioux City is very ridiculous.

Im done with f*ckin FlightInfo. It proves the ignorance and childishness of the "professionals" in our industry (the half of the members on here who arent flight simulator x wannabes). Its obvious who the low-time newby Shiny-Jet wannabes are... the ones who jump on the "I hate ____" or "Screw ___ Airlines" because they're insecure and follow the crowd. Its just like when you were 9 years old on the school playground, and you were so afraid for your own flaws to be seen, that you pointed at the same disadvantaged kid because everyone else did. Pathetic. The way I see it, those guys at Mesa took a bullet for the industry. The bullet is their POS contract, and they took it to get scope to stop a whipsaw and alter-ego. I know people over there, and I know the story. How many of you really know how freedom was stopped over there? They did something that other airlines since have not been able to accomplished... ended an alter-ego, and they paid the price to do it. They stopped what could have been a HUGE defeat... even more huge than their low-end contract. I dare say that all those who are dogging the mesa pilots don't know s#it about it. I know enough of those guys and have jumped with enough of them to know they have one hell of a pilot group and work for one crappy company under one crappy contract. I know enough about this industry to say that those of you who trash them, should rethink your position. Shouldn't you be offering them support right now? Im pretty sure they're about to enter contract negotiations sometime this year, and it doesnt help when it seems that some of their industry partners are against them. I offer them full support and best wishes. I know those guys deserve a lot more than they get. Those guys are tired as it is, and negativity from the industry is just further beating them down as they go into negotiations.

THATS HOW STUPID YOU ARE.

Thanks for the support, too bad you are the minority. I figured I would browse this board just to see what people were saying about this incident. It just validates why I stay in the Major section.

You're the idiot.

These guys had to have done a helluva job to get that thing back on the ground safe and sound.

In my short time on here, I've discovered that you can't mention any airline without someone bashing them for something. So, with that in mind, I'm going to mention an airline...

Don't fprget SkysWorst !

You're the idiot.

You think you can compare flying an RJ single engine to a DC-10 with no flight controls?

I believe it's the kevlor shroud that is suppose to contain the engine parts from penetrating the fuselage during a catastrasphic engine failure. It looks like it worked.

It's just around the fan blade... Almost all engines have them gaurding the N1 blades from becoming giant throwing stars. The really isn't anything to keep the compressor discs and turbines out of the cabin. Thats what got UAL in Iowa, and that Delta MD-80 in PNS. (I think it was PNS)

SkyWest is the worst regional out there except for all the others. - SkyNation

 

[lowlycfi]

I'm pretty disappointed. Four pages and no purple windbreaker, gay looking wings or plywood comment yet. You guys are really slipping.

 

[XPOO]

Big Brother came in and gave us a whoopin' and put us in our places. We're too scared to Mesa bash now.

Or FreeDUMB, rogerwilcoout! Let's bash on them a little! Having a little trouble finding the "o" key, are we? I know... I know... they're so close together. It's also SkyWorst... not SkysWorst. If you're going to make fun of us, at least get our name right!

As for the Sioux City thing, the only comparison I was making was the fact that both aircraft had a catastrophic engine failure!! Give me a break!
