Just saw something on the news about a Q400 nose wheel collapse, and they were reporting that the ENTIRE fleet is grounded. Any truth to that?

Wow, nice job...

We have at least one former PDT guy working there I think... It's driving me nuts but I can't remember his name. Used to be a junior LGA CA (started with and "S" I think). I wonder if that was him?

Anyhow, great job.
