2 emergency landings, in less than a week due to Maintenance. Flight Crew members are afraid to fly the aircraft. Instead of getting to the planes fixed properly, they continue to punish people for refusing to fly broke airplanes. Safety department, Quality Control department, completely failed and ineffective.
But then again, this is what 36th street is well known for.
Just had hopes.... So much money invested, but nothing changed. From the beginning of this thread until NOW.
Yet another emergency landing this week. Due to Maintenance, Broken aircraft with DMI's that are allowed to run until the last second, then Signed OFF, next flight same Squak, back on DMI. As I said before, the Quality Assurance department ( Chief Inspector ) and the Dir. SAFETY, are useless, if not just ineffective. For a company with 30 airplanes, why would the FAA allow more if this company cannot manage the current fleet Safely. Safety department is publishing safety matrix on a monthly basis, only to show that it is getting worse, not better. LIP SERVICE. IT IS UP TO YOU CAPTAINS. We all have families, and love what we do for a living, but you don't want to be the ONE declaring an emergency after accepting a questionably safe, but legal on paper, airplane to fly. Your Crew, and the flying public deserve much better. Remember that final DECISION to accept the airplane is YOURS, and that's exactly how the company will tell it to the Feds. Just ask the last 3 Captains declaring the emergencies, how they were treated afterwards.
