SKYW gear up in MKE like ASA Miracle in JFK

[BOX OFFICE]

She looks down for a good time.

What does this mean?

Bad batch of parts?

Maint. procedures?

No, her parts look good to me....and well maintained.

They are well maintained, looks like they cost a few thousand.

seems the maint at skywest has gone way down over the yrs.company needs to take a proactive approach to maint. stop taken short cuts to make money. realize your fleet and your ppl make money.stop deferring things to get aircraft out on time. serouisly that bonus isnt that big of deal.

I never did hear what caused the collapse in ATL last year. I wonder if we went to a cheaper vendor with landing gear parts like we did with the temperature sensors a few years ago. Of course the FAA is going to be all over us and skywest now probably.

POS Aircraft. In every way.

Yep, built like a brick shat house.

Strike-through: "a brick" and "house."

When does the partial-flap, gear-up landing, with shattered outer windscreen panes happen?

Guys, we had the same problem with the flaps just a few short years ago. Flaps were failing at a rate of 1 per day, now gear are failing to fully deploy. It goes from one issue to another. The flap issue seems to be somewhat rectified based on airspeed deployment, perhaps this too shall pass. Or bombardier will buy the FAA a bass boat and unlimited trout catching abilities in canada and this will all be done too...I dunno

Looks like she was hit in the back by two cruise missiles!!

 

[AWACoff]

Great!!

They ground the fleet and we're all on furlough!!

FFFFAAAAAAKKKK!!!

But, good job guys!!!

That's not a bad idea...at least the skies would be safer with all of those RJs parked.
