Uhhhhh, NO!
I always get them washed for appearance! There is no excuse for having dirty bugs on your windshield!! You clean them suckers up and make them shine!
-A clean bug is a Happy Bug!
P.S.-This is clearly NOT sabotage-if it were, we would have found the remnants of a "fat spliff" stuck in them probes!!

Can't it be both?
Good point-
Indeed, one could suggest some type of ratio may be involved..... For Example: "Salulki is 85% useless, 15% pointless."
-See how nicely that works?

It's not necessarily a mistake. I've been weight restricted a few times and told the ramper we couldn't take any more bags. Then I've seen the cargo door light come on and off, I've asked him if they put more bags on and they've said no. I've counted the bags after and guess what? There was more then what they said. It's happened several times
Yeah-
Speak for yourself..... I prefer a penetration-free cornhole over warmth...

Ha! O.K.- so here's what REALLY happened. The ramp guy got upset at having to do the bug wash, and threw a hissy fit. Following the $hit hemorage, he pushed the ladder up to the airplane, and got the yellow foam padding from the ladder all over the FO's pitot tube.
When the ladder hit the pitot tube, they also got a "Stall Fail"- probably got the AOA vane as well.......The crew didn't get out to check it, because the message just went away. On climb out, the crew called MX Control describing what happened, the caution message on the ground, and that they complied with the QRH procedure. MX asked if anyone went out to check the outside of the airplane after the "Stall Fail" message, with a window guy close to the probes, etc. Over the radio where everyone could hear it, the crew replied "no"...... after which you could almost hear the hand hit the forehead on 131.15 from the MTC guy working MX Control........
It wasn't sabotage.........just a cluster ####, that I'm sure neither side would like to repeat. Nobody's going to jail, because you can't fix stupid........
Also, a rubber glove would have been way too obvious- especially on the takeoff roll with the "80 Knots" call......
Everybody can ease up on the sabotage, white man's long arm of oppression stuff, and FBI investigations.....Besides, Palmer's busy......

Wow...I didn't know I've been to jail....or any of my friends...
I wonder why I don't remember it...maybe I blocked it out of my mind...
whites will always feel threatened by blacks. sterotypes help keep them feeling secure and in control, albeit it delusionally.
dont take what anyone says on these boards seriously.

Have they ruled out material from the pitot covers? Don't know about ASA but another CRJ operator insists on installing pitot covers anytime the aircraft is left unattended between crews - regardless of weather - in order to keep moisture out. (Hmmm, doesn't it fly in the rain?) The side effect has been instances of this material getting lodged in the pitot tubes.
If there were a jail for stupid posts, you would have been UNDER it!
Sterotypes like the one where all whites are afraid of blacks?

After almost 8 years on the CRJ, I've never even seen a pitot cover at ASA.

I bet they were condoms. Your rampers just want you to be safe out there.
