Not to worry, the word is A/C 101,706&707 are leaving GYR to return to service, these were parked last April&May during BK. More of the same.

The CCY fools will never learnGood thing they saved all that money so they can spend it to fix this pig !!!
Never under-estimate the power of stupid people in executive positions :down::down:
I gotta laugh that Smartest Loser castigated Blueoceans for lack of fact-checking in the same post with a totally factless claim of "pilot error" as the cause of the 5-in-5 fatal USAir accidents of the 1990's. To be sure, pilot error is a factor in some of those accidents, but it's always easier to take the "mass media" easy sound-bite and blame the pilots without checking the history, or the facts.X-U said:I don't know where the seven is coming from, but the majority of the "5 in 5"Smartest Loser said:Wrong Wrong Wrong...blueoceans said:USAirways has performed its maintenance inhouse and had 7 mainline fatal incidents (plus 2 express ones).

The accidents on Mainline were NEVER ...I repeat NEVER attributed to in-house maintenance…!!! They were pilot error.
So, that cleared up....Check your facts first before making yourself look bad.
SL
was not attributed to pilot error. 427 was found to be a design error (rudder servo),
the collision in LAX was attributed to an ATC error and the DC-9 in CLT was also an ATC error (lack of timely weather info). Both LGA accidents were found to be pilot error. The only other one I can think of is the BAE-146 shot down by a disgruntled, former agent.
If your info is correct that will be the 3rd maintenance ferry flight in less than a week.wings396 said:I noticed tonight that A/C 700 had an RTF in IAH with a gear problem. Shows a ferry flight to PIT.......
