Mesaba-ba=?

[JJET44]

Flew Masaba today.

What gives? Sat at the gate, with one engine running, for 35 minutes. The captain said that they were waiting for Weight and Balance #'s. FOR 35 MINUTES!!!

Whip out the wiz wheel and lets go...your gutting into my drinking time!!!!

 

[W&BWiz]

That's typical SOP.

 

[YourPilotFriend]

You could have at least held on to your scope.

Hopefully, Mesaba will.

You mean Compass?

No mesaba is not going to protect the profession. It will either be gone or be working for a concessionary contract.

All Mesaba employees are working about 19.4% slower- I know I flying 19.4% slower....

 

[Workin'Stiff]

Dang right, all charted torque values minus 19.4%

 

[saabass]

F the chart-I haven't opened that in a year, cruise at 160 all the time

That's awesome!

ATC: Mesaba XXXX, say speed.
XJ: 160
ATC: Can you pick it up?
XJ: Unable, Nada, Nope, Nuh uh.

Either that, or perhaps there's a rudder limiter problem, so we're stuck at 180.

In MSP, I think that 30L would now be the preferred runway.
