Mesa ORD accident this morning

[Lrjtcaptain]

It was not a CRJ2 it was a CRJ7. I had to stare at it all day yesterday until they finally got it off 28 around noon. Suprisingly it didn't have too much impact thanks to off loading to 27R but we are better off being able to land 3 instead of 2. I did not see this happen the night before but am curious. Did the gear retract after it had landed or was it up the entire time. I want to know how it got all the way down 28 between F and T if the gear infact had been in the wing the entire time.

All I said was that if you compare the 200 to any other Boeing, Airbus, or like type in the current market--it's a POS that can just barely complete it mission if it's hot or if there is bad weather..

Personally, I think if you throw the -700 engines on it, it will be one hell of an airplane.
I don't know anyone that likes to climb 300-500FPM about FL180.
Or when ATC asks to maintain 300kias and you have to reply "Not sure if we can get it going that fast, maybe if you give us a decent"

But this airplane is stretched so thin, it's a disposible airplane.

Well it depends on what you consider suitable.
Do you want maybe 1 firetruck? Well then SBN might not be your choice.
You want barely legal, naughty little Catholic college girls letting you motorboat them for an extra dollar? SBN it is!

Or I could go home and be with my family in SBN. Nearest AND Suitable. Home cooked meal. Sleep in my own bed while they drag the carcass of a CRJ2 off the runway.

Hmmmm. FAA seemed to think it was a CRJ2.

Well it appears the FAA screwed the pooch on this one. If you look at the photo from the news story in the first post you can clearly see the fwd baggage door. Those do not exist on the 200. Also on the nose door you can see the tail number "511" which is a 700.

But this airplane is stretched so thin, it's a disposable airplane.

It would probably need the -700 wings also.

The CRJ-200 is the biggest POS in the skies. It should not be in airline service of any kind.

Obviously you have never flown a Mitsubishi Diamond Jet.

Thanks for pointing that out! Did not notice the forward cargo hatch.

Of course.
It would be a sweet ride.

Or a Cessna slowtation...

Hmmmm. FAA seemed to think it was a CRJ2.

They also seem to think that there was no crew onboard, only 32 pax. Gotta love them feds.

Obviously you have never flown a Mitsubishi Diamond Jet.

At least all airspeed limitations were easy though. Everything = 200kt.

 

[jws717]

The real questions should be, do the crj200 and 700 share identical uplocks? and were they replaced recently on the accident aircraft? maybe a bad batch from the vendor?

Well no wonder they had problems!

Or a Cessna slowtation...

At least with that you had short field performance.
