Mesa will waive wake turb...

[Slice121]

Yeah, that's what struck me as being really odd... I agree with you that the chances of it hanging around in a windy condition are pretty slim. But should something happen, it wouldn't look very good at the "board" while your doin' a carpet dance for waiving "wake turbulence separation."

Agreed.:beer:

I had a Lancaster Milk Stoudt at the Capital Ale House in RIC a few months back that is a great beer...

DC8 makes a hell of a wake.

Everything on Flightinfo is true.

who knows if this is true......however....1-2000 jet PIC or not.....these super young CAs are more apt to do dangerous stuff.....its really that simple....they havent had the sh%t scared out of them yet( or maybe they just dont care) ......so they are going to do it with 50 pax on board........sad and really stupid.. at ORD a few weeks back a younger CRJ crew ( you could tell by the stupid radio convo) was begging to depart when ALL southbound departures were closed off......saying

" we just came from that way.......its not that bad.....can we try it out?"

I was shocked!!!! I couldnt help but to key the mic and comment on " im glad my family isnt on there!"

This is what happens when you have a crappy contract that doesn't pay you properly for issues like this...you start to compromise safety for pay! Rediculous!!!

this is NOT an excuse!!!! a crappy contract should NOT make you do UNSAFE acts!!!! Its plain and simple a matter of maturity and proper decision making!! Which apparantly they have NONE of.....

If they were already blocked out how were they going to time out? What happened to legal to start legal to finish.

In the case of timing out (16hours FAA), wheels up + flight plan time + FOM check out time is the final factor. What if you block out around 13:30 and then ground hold for an hour or two?
