You don't move an aircraft with a hydraulics problem under its own power. Once the aircraft is safely on the ground, it doesn't move again until the gear is pinned and it is on the tug.

Thoughts and prayers for those involved...

First a little Northwest jet at MKE, now this bigger one. What's up with Northwest these days?

That was Pinnacle.

Northwest owns the plane, that's why Northwest mainline runs over and tells em how to idle their engine when they are getting hot fueled.

Hehe... (Now you've done it! this thread could explode into another XJ/Pinnacle/NWA bashfest!!!)

Anyway, here's an update on the accident:

Northwest doesn't own the CRJ's. Wells Fargo owns them. Next thing you know we are going to have bankers meddling in our operation too.

I seem to miss all the interesting things, I left MSP on a Cactus flight a couple hours prior to this incident. The 9 was N763NC and the Bus was N368NB, here is a photo courtesy of the Star Tribune. http://www.startribune.com/stonline/images/news68/1collide0511.l.jpg

Why not? The insurance people already have our gonads! Let's just have a big ol' party!?
