I heard we are having FADEC problems, mostly. Nothing too serious. I remember when the E-145 was launched. I didn’t check out on the E-145 until the aircraft was around a year or two, but that thing had all kinds of FADEC problems.
I lost an engine on final into DCA. I assumed it was a FADEC auto shut down, but later found out a bearing had failed. My engine actually ate itself, with 32 total hours on it. That was my last flight at Mesa. I was late to my retirement party filling out paperwork.
