One other thing, here is a mx dream. I worked 5 legs the other day and we had mx on 4 of them. A flap failure, comm failure, door warning sys failure, and a capt audio panel. What a day. we had one more scheduled leg, but we timed out after sitting for three hours while the mighty system control worked something out. Then the mechanic shows up and taps it and says just plug into the jumpseat jacks and fly it out...then he says, come on man, that would be so much more convenient for us. How about a flight crews safety, esp with the track record of colgan and the cape and islands.
