We need more new planes
 

The frequency of issues with the older Airbus are starting to create a pattern similar to although not as bad as the MD80's. We need to abandon the older used Airbus and keep buying new planes.

Hahahahahahaha! Good luck.

The planes aren't the big problem (with the exception of a couple admittedly) IMO. Management needs to pay our mechanics and provide the benefits to keep the good ones, many of which we have, but they tend to leave over time. Costs more to have a broken plane on the ground than the money it would take to keep our good mechanics here. So frustrating talking to a great mechanic that tells me he's leaving for SWA or Delta.

Definitely

Good point. We aren’t losing the problem children to SWA, Alaska, United, AA and Delta. I can’t think of a single pilot or mechanic who has left who wasn’t good at their job and a good person with the exception of a notorious Mx controller. Still no idea how he got to SWA.

Ehhhh. We need new planes. Rumor is over 1 mil has been spent on 222 over your mommas dirty ***** smell.:D

I’m very pleased to see the response of the company regarding “dirty/wet sock” When I first read the email back in June, in regards to what they are doing about it, it started out like they were downplaying it big time.

Again, I was very pleased to hear we are taking this seriously and will be installing Palls Air Bleed Filter STC.

That email is very timely considering triple deuce just went down again for the smell today... Hopefully they get a handle on that one aircraft. I think Trip-3 is good now though, or at least I haven't heard anything lately.

I’m sure FP&A analyzed it and decided it was cheaper than a lawsuit.

I don’t know why Airbus isn’t paying for these issues since it’s a known problem with the series.
