Classic worst case V1 cut. Kudos to the crew; hopefully our lucky streak will continue and this captain doesn't get fired for embarrassing the company (sarcasm).
Seriously, among other maintenance 'oversights' (flight controls, smoke, gear, etc) the alarming fleet-wide catastrophic engine failure rate continues unabated despite added FAA scrutiny and management's commitments to invest more in maintenance. Heads will surely roll. Oh wait, the Maintenance VP already quit and the Exec VP 'retired'.
Maintenance concerns mount almost as fast as record profits. ValuJet was a Wall Street Cinderella too.
You’re right, ultimately the worst happened; got bought by swa for a stupid premium amount and loved them into the seniority list prison style. Begged Delta to buy the 717s by paying them a bonus to take them; brilliant move, decimating the ATL hub. Definitely don’t want to end up like them.
But no, really man. Do not want that to happen here. Since the contract got signed no one has left for swa.
