flexjet mx
Lumber yak:
What do you mean you've seen broken-down Flexjet airplanes all over the country? Do you mean to say that we have broken, burned-out airframes just rotting at airports all over the U.S., towed onto disused ramps, missing engines, control surfaces, and wheels, just waiting to be scavenged for scrap aluminum?
Or have you just seen some flexjet airplanes in maintenance?
So what if you've seen our airplanes in mx? How did you know they were broken down? Did you look at the mx log books? Check the MEL? Talk to the mechanics working on them? Talk to the pilots?
I doubt it. My point is, it sounds like you really don't have the foggiest idea what you're talking about.
If you have, in fact, ever seen a Flexjet airplane in mx somewhere, how do you know it wasn't scheduled mx? How do you know it wasn't a weekly service check? Flexjet uses mx providers in serveral locations around the country.
So, do Flexjet airplanes ever "break"? As a matter of fact, Flexjet airplanes do break, as all airplanes do. Big deal. We have excellent maintenance AND training (as the FAA, NASA, and several aviation auditing firms will attest).
And for your "friends" who complain about mx and training issues... well, whatever. No response to such vague statements is necessary. What was wrong, the instructor have bad breath? Is training too long? Did he fail a checkride?
