Johnso,

What fun would this thread be without a couple rumors or more? :D "I heard from someone, who knows someone, who talked to a LCA, (probably Tsquare), that has a cousin, who's also a mechanic here, that we're getting 100 - 100 seat a/c prior to contract MEMRAT!! :eek:

I'm sure the OP meant no harm, but you know how folks run with things! And we probably have a bunch of cranky, hungover leprechauns on here tonight! :D

I saw the pirep this morning in the crew lounge, it said they were at 330, aircraft uncontrollable, lost 6000ft... looked like over Southeaster CO

Cheers

Ha. Try md88 #5 or #3, well one of those, a 5 knot crosswind is a whiplash. 30 while OEI? Certain death.

That's a heck of a ride... I wouldn't have wanted to have been on that plane.

And did I see buzz say he had an engine out landing this morning? Eeesh!


And is Monday, March 19th the first ever group meet and greet of APC in A-town? (at least knowingly...) Hopefully I'll be able to come out!

Delta! Thank god :p So that's not standard procedure for anything? I start training in a week with a new base and all which I was displaced to, thought maybe it was related to that.
