DCI - 100, 50-Seaters and All Turboprops To Go.

[General Lee]

The FAIL is strong in this one...

Besides, your own source (the one involving a maintenance taxi ground incident that you're trying to make into an accident) wasn't even investigated by the NTSB...

Ooops. So you didn't know there were people in the back (crew) and the Captain got hurt when the plane hit the jetway? Hmmm. So, what would it be called? A "brown stain" moment? What about that new A340 that went full reverse during testing at Toulouse, France a few months back? It was totally destroyed. How would you categorize that? Just an incident?

Why yes, yes I did. I even stated that. It is better than making up stuff, which some people do on here. And, I gave a reference.


Bye Bye--General Lee

WTF do you think Wikipedia is?

Are you incharge of who tells information? It is a great reference, unless you like making up information yourself. I guess YOU decide which information is correct and which is not. Wow, you should run a government.

An incident...per the NTSB 830.2 quote and link I provided in my previous post.

You *did* look at those, right?

What about that new A340 that went full reverse during testing at Toulouse, France a few months back? It was totally destroyed. How would you categorize that smarty pants?

I'd categorize it as a cause to update the resume...but that's not important.

AGAIN, because that A340 was being ground tested and wasn't intended at that time to fly, it would be an incident per the NTSB and not an accident.

Facts are stubborn things, General...and the facts don't support your claim.

Now THERE's an idea for this possible furlough coming up! Thanks General!!

Lighten up man. No need to go on the defensive. I think Wikipedia is GOOD source of info, but I just can't add the "great" to it. You are certainly entitled to your opinion.

 

[Monster Buck]

General, get off Mesaba's record. They have an impeccable record and going against pilots on here saying that it counts because some mechanic taxied a plane into a jet bridge is weak to say the least. The bitch slapping on both sides is entertaining but going against Mesaba's safety record is futile. You won't win.

 

[i fly boxes]

Guys, you can't knock Mesaba for their saftey record. I dont work there but they have a really good one (knock on wood of course) Skywest also has an excellent safety record.

Anybody can edit Wikipedia entries. I personally use it as a starting point but would never cite it as a source of info as you don't always know where or who the info is coming from. Some entries are now providing citations for their content, so it is getting better, but it is far from reliable.

Especially when NTSB 830 is a fairly easy starting point for accident definitions.

 

[USCtrojan]

As history has shown, anytime General Lee and his other screenname ScopeoutRJ's enter a thread, you might as well shut it down. It becomes worthless immediately.

The fact remains that Mesaba has been around 65+ years and has never killed a passenger or person on the ground from an accident.

That cannot be said for Delta, Northwest, Southwest, American, US Airway, Comair, ASA, Pinnacle, etc....

Great

Not to denegrate Mesaba, but fact is in those 65 years they have probably flown as many sorties as all the others you cited do on a single day. Great job though, especially considering the "small planes" they fly in some very wintery locations.

Back on topic. If ALL turboprops go does that not also mean Skywest will be dropping some of the E120's out of SLC? (I know they also fly several for United and may not actually "park" them)

Huh? This is about Delta. All E120 at SKW are United.

 

[Seaknight1]

Not entirely true. SKW still operates some flights for DCI out of SLC on the Bro's. I think they're to EAS cities though.

Guess the first question is who owns the aircraft? Second, unlike our situation, Skywest isn't owned by the empire so I would think they can do whatever they please within the contract...we, on the other hand, are fooked.

By General::You have been out matched here from the start, and are sinking fast, and to top it off you sound like a tard.


Are you f@@cking kidding you are the most hated MF on the planet. You have 1 friend and he is probably in your hand right now!!! You are like talking to a wall. See Ya "MR Online Guy"

 

[budd]

General I started talking about how safe Mesaba was and instead of you saying "That's some awesome stats way to go, keep it up" you come up with some MX taxi f@ck up. That says the kind of tard you are or am I wrong. I still hope that semi hits you head on. FO>>>> You should change your name to MMI. { Me myself and I!!!} or MMIOLG {Me Myself and I Online Guy}

I disagree. I enjoy reading the posts from the General, and he does seem to be on top of Delta issues. From one regional guy to another, you really need to tone it down a bit. I also don't get the "Mr Online guy" reference.

Your post was not funny, and hard to understand.

Great, now his kids are on here !! The only thing he is on top of is RA. He wants all of us to be unemployed. And you want ME to tone it down. You must be kidding I would hope. Someone wants my wife and kids to suffer for years and you want me to tone it down!!! F@ck you!!!
