Mesa CRJ hits geese on takeoff from SBA

[PA44Jockey]

they did a better job than Sully, they managed to make it back to the airport

To put Mesa and him in the same sentence is almost criminal

They couldn't find the "We hit geese on takeoff" checklist

I think they needed to burn some fuel due to landing weight concerns. The news report I read said they dumped their fuel and then landed but I don't recall a fuel dump button in the CRJ 200.

Sure there is! It's called the flight spoiler lever!

Honestly though, being Mesa and all, I'm surprised they didn't divert to somewhere they could fix the damage and then Greyhound the people somewhere to catch a ride.
