CRJ engine problems out of DEN

[Airboss]

So do the pilots have to pay to get retrained on the jet?

 

[Soverytired]

To all you "Mesa sucks" fans out there . . . .(and yeah, I do my share of kvetching about the place)

Please note that this was handled so well and so professionally by the crew that this didn't even make the media airwaves.

Lost an engine and half the pylon it was hanging on? NBD, because that bird was flown by professionals.

(I'm not even going to start listing how some other "flightinfo approved" regionals have dealt with some of their messes . . . not a few of them self-inflicted.)

So a hearty "kudos and well done" to the Mesa crew who took this in stride.

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.

Yeah...

Imagine if that happened from a weather balloon (just hypothetically)? Talk about slim odds.

Look closer at the fuselage...Lots of damage on the skin from engine "parts"!

Are there any punctures tho? Looks like the real damage is confined to the engine and where it attaches to the fuselage.

 

[EagleRJ]

Is that a weather balloon hanging from the turbine?

That's the Kevlar blanket that is specifically designed to contain parts from an uncontained engine failure. It probably did its job for the most part, but the crew is lucky the fan section didn't hit another part of the plane on its way out.

Yeah I bet they even took their ipods off to watch the autopilot fly the plane. Landing a plane with one engine is the same as one with two engines.... it is the go around that is tricky and MESA still sucks and they are Carnies. still glad everyone made it ok ..... nice work crew...... but you still have to work the ferris wheel on your two days off

 

[N4niner206]

Funny how everyone throws out the "Mesa sucks" flag. How about props to the crew that landed the plane safely without injuries to the passengers?? Had it been a Comair flight or something like that, you'd all be singing praises. No wonder why everyone talks about how childish the regular posters on FI are. You guys never cease to amaze me.

An airplane was bent and no one was injured. Good job crew.

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.

Oh, so joining a dirtbag operation after it has already begun is a good excuse. You're the stuipd one if you did.

So long!

And what does sh!t talking people you've never met behind the safety of your internet connection make you? A genious?

 

[viper548]

Great job to the crew who safely landed that thing

 

[Puck Mugger]

Anyone know anything about the CRJ, Mesa I think, that lost half of it's engine on the 25th?

Did they ever find it???

 

[91100 100 set]

Regardless of the operator, good job guys. I can only imagine the looks on their faces when they actually got on the ground and jumped out to see what they had back there.

 

[SKYW Pilot]

Not that I love Mesa (and Skywest has its share of haters), but the crew did a kick butt job! Everybody's raggin' on Mesa, but what about all the other airlines who have had catastrophic engine failures? United's Sioux City DC-10? Delta's MD-80/90 (can't remember which one)? Like somebody said earlier, if this had been Comair or some other airline, there would be no bad talkin'! Bad talk an airline when they deserve it, but those Mesa pilots don't deserve it in this case. (I know... I know... some of you are going to say Mesa deserves to bashed all the time. I can't win!)

 

[WalterSobchak]

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...
