Mesaba I heard 900's return to sender

[submachXJ]

I heard some the 900's were sent back to the factory or will be can anyone confirm or denie this... Details? The way I heard it was temporary to sort out bugs with the first ones.

 

[Oakum_Boy]

i'll denie it.

Pure bullspit... 4 on property, 2 more by the end of the month and 2 a month after.

Crews on the other hand have been being sent back... UGH!

 

[Ridgeback]

True!!

901 is be returned to get a fuel smell fixed...something with the pressuration and a fuel valve??

Plus there's a ton of stuff on inside screwed up, like the labels for row D & E are backwards. E is the aisle, or something to that extent. Lots of little things, but we'll still fly it. How long did we fly the PX's for? They were mx nightmares.

I heard in recurrent that RJ said that the state of the 900's coming from the factory is disappointing, this being the bugs in the new interior. I have not heard if any are being sent back, that would be a bad thing, but only temporary. The thing I know is that a batch of student went through training and something was wrong with their training, making them "not"qualified..........making it hard to find crews to staff the flights.

Thanks anyone else have any info?

 

[i fly boxes]

can someone please tell me, are you guys training for the 200 or not, there is a rumour that we are not giving you the 200s not or at least not all of them until you can staff them better?

I heard that the APD's had their currency lapse in June, so about 40 pilots or so have to be re-signed off for orals, checkrides, etc.
Same thing happened ten years ago!

Still not believing the 200's are here, until I see my FA's FAT a** walking down the jetway. sheesh, nevermind young, attractive , single, nurse training, etc. How about fit and unfatty?
What has diversity done to us...

Isnt it great the situation that NWA has gotten themselves into. I laugh every time i read something in the paper about staffing at our airlines.

How do you have a seat "E" in an RJ tube?

How do you have a seat "E" in an RJ tube?

The aisle is "row C," so the seat pairs are AB and DE.
