Unfortunately this is true. I know someone who was just doing an easy turn that turned into a 3 day turn because of several MX issues. I guess the service check expired and MX control tried to make the crew fly it anyways. Crazy stuff here!!

Service checks can be extended 24 hours...

Well I don't know the whole story, just what this person told me. He is a sim instructor so I'm sure he knew that and for whatever reason did not accept the aircraft and they had to send a rescue.

Please post the paragraph in the GOM/GMM that allows this. Hint: you won't find it.

Another engine shut down yesterday. Read about the days leading up to ValuJet 592. It is almost identical to what is going on now.

Speak for myself? Um, isn't that *precisely* what I'm doing? 😏 Good for you that you somehow avoided TDY and have somehow avoided an overnight. Hopefully you'll somehow avoid an engine failure, too.

I, too, have worked for a regional...one of the worst paying ones in the industry. And while my pay was lower (as I previously pointed out), my QOL was the same if not worse. This is the reality when you have NO contract. Sorry the truth is offensive to you.

Sometimes the truth hurts.

I wish the CBS nightly news would make the connection with ValuJet and Maury Gallagher.

Ahh. A man can dream. Right?
