FRA Flight Diverted

[Travelpro72]

I don't believe that aircraft being a lemon is the problem. I think it's a bunch of mechanics that are left with NO TOOLS to work with. The poor guys get very little time with the plane and you notice things just go MEL'd for about as long as they can. Speaking of maintenance....is everything still housed in PHX since it's been brought to managements attention many times even including Crew News Sessions. A pilot brought parts in a baggy to hand to Isom himself. Hello? Our airplanes are run into the ground.

so an employee can figure it out, but an airline executive with multitudes of college degrees doesn't??

Drinking kills brain cells....

Drinking kills brain cells....

Hey Mac, does drinking kill brain cells?

Yes, Doug, but you only use ten percent of your brain cells.

Thank You Sir, may I have another?

So MAN is now scheduled departure of 12:00 am for tonight? I mean get real folks. Remember Doug's words? "We can't run a transatlantic operation like we ran last year" Too late Doug already happened. You are the weakest link and the BOD needs to tell you goodbye! LOOSER!

 

[Travelpro72]

I love when some say that, "you can't blame management for everything". Well when your paid MILLIONS and you head the company....YES I CAN. YOU as a CEO, COO or ABCDEFG are PUT in the place to make this company MOVE. You have employees to do the job and your paid the big bucks to lead. So get the place together. Please, my SNN trip had what I believe was a/c 202 and after two years is STILL not reconfigured with the promised galley. Talk about a smooth t/a operation...we had guys in yellow suits carrying BUCKETS of blue fluid for the lavs through Envoy and coach to the toilets. We boarded almost 20 minutes early and STILL had this CRAP going on. US is disgusting, tasteless and out of their league. YES the busy transatlantic season has gone off with a bang... chitty chitty bang bang that is.

Anyone know why US 700 was diverted to Halifax last night?

Cracked windshield...F/O side

Yeah, in the event of a reorganization petition these guys and gals would be looking for retention bonuses from the BK judge. However, as I have previously posted elsewhere, it is harder to qualify for that now and includes having to show that some company made a bona fide contract offer to these fools.

Aircraft 275 aka Christine made it back in from YHZ to CLT today, only to arrive with another MTC issue. Luckly, its fixed and she is on her way to LGW.

 

[700UW]

Christine is not 275, it is A/C 600, a 757 from Eastern.

 

[UPNAWAY]

There is no A/C 600? An HPs Christine is 908.

 

[700UW]

It was the US East Tail# before the merger which is now 916UW, otherwise known as the hangar queen.

 

[UPNAWAY]

908 Killed a HP ramper and a Contract MX worker in separate accidents and has had lots of other bizarre injuries & incidences.
