Nah, should be past the 100 hours next month sometime ... if we had shot the approach into IAD about 30min later, we wouldn't have gotten in...

Low fuel? When Hurricane Ike rolled through the midwest a few months ago, an RJ landed in IND with 1100 lbs of fuel. That didn't get mentioned here?
I can recall a couple years ago when my airline had 11 flap fails in 1 day.
Really just curious is all bud. I didn't start this thread to put down anyone at all, just wondering what exactly happened. When I was talking to ops after we got back they told me the crew was pretty shaken up. I mentioned this one because I was actually at the airport when they came in and just wanted to know how they ended up in CHO of all places.
