Mesa Not Complying with ADs

[PropPiedmont]

Possibly parking 20+ aircraft tonight due to noncompliance with an AD for over 4 years now.

Yeah, and piedmont is parking all of their -8's too... Stop bashing Mesa, it's really old.. Source of this info?

 

[PropPiedmont]

Mesa's PMI didn't have the guts to ground the fleet today, but there might not be a way around the 3 day inspection without it.

 

[jetfueljunkey]

Again...source?

Gimme a break... by posting inflamatory remarks. If he/she was trying to present factual information solely for informative purposes, a source would have been cited. At least that's how I would assume a logical person would do it. Also remarks to the effec of "didn't have the guts to ground the fleet" don't lead me to believe that the post was anything other than a bash. Now, if there is some truth here, can someone please cite a source?

 

[urflyingme?!]

It's pretty factual. Did mesa comply? No. Then the phrase"Mesa not complying with AD's" is true. Believe me, noncompliance with AD's is the tip of the iceberg for MAG MX and you and everyone else knows it. I was there, I know it.

Mesa Sucks!

Now there is some Mesa bashing.

Call your maintenance controller and ask. They're hoping self disclosure will help reduce the fines.

Was just at the PHX zoo.. Saw both DCH8's and CRJ900's flying over head...

We are. Thats how bad you suck.

We are. Thats how bad you suck.

That was a joke....get it. Every MX dept will have a non-compliant AD now and then.....look at SouthWest.

I did as you suggested, called MX control. All aircraft are flying yesterday 100% CF. Mesa is and always has been in full compliance with all AD's.

So Rene, when this thread first started sometime last week, did you call then? FTweb showed 50 cx'd flights mostly out of CLT, but throughout the system planes were down and it said due to AD compliance. I don't know what yesterdays CF has to do with this.....

Somebody screwed up. Its probably as simple as a documentation issue. If you can't prove it was done, you have to ground the fleet and do it again.

It may have been they day you called, however I can confirm that several 900s were taken out of service to comply with a MX issue last week, it resulted in about 50 cxls for one day.

Some aircraft were taken out of service overnight last week to conduct inspections necessary to verify that an AD had been completed in 2007 with the correct clamp. These inspections required defueling which took a while.

 

[brokedash]

At anyrate there were still 50 some odd cancels all tied into the procedure. The real question is why this happened so, "All of a sudden"?

ASA once missed in inspection on almost all of our 200s. ATL remote parking was a sight to see that day!
