Flightradar24 shows 9 of WGA's MD11's down, today. The daily average is 7. That's out of 12 airplanes. That includes airplanes in for heavy maintenance.
The apologist view is that this is just a temporary condition. Airplanes parked to bring them up to speed. If the temporary condition is every day, always has been, nothing new under the sun...it may be that it's not really temporary, after all. Kick the can down the road until it either can't move or the crew refuses to fly it/writeup won't let it move. Ops normal.
2 things; Parts and Jim Neff. Goes hand n hand. I cannot keep up with the mistakes and failures anymore. That goes for pilots, mx, mxctl, operations, parts dept, crew scheduling, mx planning, and QC/records. Anyone thinking its temporary hasn't been there very long and doesn't know anything. They're believing the lies. To many higher ups that are YES MEN. There is also an internal battle going on between management that is getting ugly. Those jets aren't going anywhere and I laughed about the 777 announcements. Some people are just hanging on for the experience to leave for better jobs. So many uninformed morons work there took the clot shot and have become dumber by the day. All the jets that are down in SHV have no engines. They're getting more soon from Lufthansa deal and all the parts. ****ed off UPS they won the part bid for MD11s. Won't really matter though. SHV lacks 200 people to be operating correctly. SHV is also very ghetto and dangerous to live in currently. The main guy running SHV is about to quit. The LGG crew running the Chinese cargo operations are about to quit and the US guys are a dwindling number all going to FedEx or Atlas. FedEx has an AOG team made up of ex-WGA employees. They speak very highly of them because they worked so long with garbage and don't take the new job for granted. I am happy for people that left, but feel sorry for those people that were dumb enough to believe the government and took the clot shot. You can talk **** all day long about WGA, but somehow it's still operating. You know nothing about this place and you wish you did. I could destroy this entire company if Inwanted too. It's not my choice though. It's up to God to make that decision and its not my right to ruin others lives that work here because I am some jaded employee.
