My only experience with Regions will forever be just that- my only experience with Regions. I took a flight on a Regions Junk-stream last summer... on take off, the stall shaker went off as we over-rotated on a 10,000 foot runway, once we leveled off- I looked out and the flaps were still set in the takeoff position. When I looked up at the cockpit- I could see the 2 pilots laughing and joking as they made meager attempts to even keep the airplane level- all the while jerking the airplane around. On landing- the stall shaker went off again as they abruptly fell to the earth halfway down the runway. As we waited to be unloaded- the captain said 'sorry about the bumpy ride, the weather was a little... errr, bumpy'. what a dildo.
Never ride on this airline, don't let your friends or family ride on them- they must be hiring 23 year old punks with 500 hours tt to fly these crappy, probably not airworthy pieces of crap. They are unsafe, unprofessional, and have no integrity for the job they do. You can flame me all you want- but that was my experience with them, and I'm just sharing my personal opinions. They suck donkey dongs.
You sir are an ignoramous. Only someone that has over 1000 hours
in the left seat of the j-ball is allowed to call them a junkstream...
and that would likely be because of the hearing loss and associated
mispronouncing of certian words. Crapex's j-balls are to the best of
my knowledge airworthy. Archaic, slow, uncomfortable loud and unstable
yes. 23 year olds? Yes. Mins have been 1000/200 for years, and I will
never understand how the place got some of the fine people that
I flew with...there are a few of the FO's that I would fly a jball
through hell single pilot to go rescue. The airplane is trustworthy
if you understand it's language. Pax comfort? Blah, it was a RNAF
trainer. I had 8 pax puke on one flight on a nasty day. Smooth
landings are only allowed by special dispensation from on High!
If you were really that concerned you should have contacted
the CP. If you lack the intestinal fortitude to have done so
at the time and can only post here hiding behind a screen
name I lack the words to convey your cowardice.
Further I suspect that I would be banned from this board
for all eternity if I made full use of the English language in
flaming color to describe the contempt that I hold that level
of cowardice in.
In my esteem you rate right up there with Don Carty, Carl
Ichon and OBL.
At best sir, on a clear blue sunny day you are a wanker!
Yeah, the pilots laugh and joke around...bet you do at your
job too...you also probably have a door to hide behind!
I understand that the sole SAAB (send another aircraft for baggage)
is in coex colors...but they have been getting saabs for Christmas
since 1997...they probably won't do anything out of STL.
I got a lot of good experience and made many friends there. The kind
of people that you can count on.
The sad thing is that the QOL and pay are not anywhere near
industry standard. The owner has no respect for the people
that make the operation run on a day to day basis...I am not in
a position to hazard a guess at what upgrade time is...the lines
were getting worse when I bailed...sounds like nothing has
changed.
