CRJ's getting grounded?

[Shocker]

Anybody here this as well? Just got a call from a buddy said CRJ's are getting grounded at outstations? Something to do with "a protective sleeve and the IDG" Im off today just wondering if anybody has anymore detail. Sounds like the FAA is visiting everybody's MX.

Quite a few ASA CRJ's have been "out" since that time.

My nap was just canceled and "upgraded" to a 700, they claim it was because the captain called in sick... seemed healthy when I got off a flight with him this morning... he said "see ya tonight"...

dont think this is affecting asa, at 7pm our a14 shows 94% and completion 100, thats got to be a record.

I had a MX guy come out just as we were about to push with a full airplane and get on the headset to tell us that because we had a newly painted airplane that he had to measure our tail # to make sure they were the correct size. Said it had just came from the FAA and if the size was wrong, we couldn't fly the airplane

The FAA was trying to be the big bullies who recently got bloody noses and black eyes, thanks guys. Some didn't pass, some did and some were allowed a few tweaks and later flew.

Heard a rumor it may have had to do with an AD for hydraulic lines that had a tendency to rub against one another...

haven't seen or heard anything official, just crew room rumor.

It was for a wiring harness connecting the IDG. There has to be a small plastic shield around the harness (otherwise they will fall out of the sky), and on certain older serial number aircraft I guess they aren't installed. Had a 23 flights cancel today last I checked due to this.

Comair had a %100 so I guess or maint was up to date...
