Here's the link to WGN-TV's news cast of the incident!

Way to go, great press for mainline "United" as if the article in the USA Today on 12/31/07 wasn't enough about UAL cancelling over 1000 flights in the last 8 days!!!!

Wow.

The cabin of the CRJ is not that big (50 pax) and a guy of that size should stick out like an elephant in a strawberry field.

Mesa crews always seemed to just jump off the airplane and run away (probably late to their next JA, or trying to avoid one). No cleanup, checklists, walkaround, switches all wrong, etc. I even found the #2 engine turning once :eek::eek::eek: That CA bought me some beer...

I heard a story about a United 747 where there was no ground power and no APU. They left one of the outboard motors turning for power during deplaning and then forgot about it. Left it running all night.

Got a nice call from the chief pilot the next day!

Nice. I would routinely find the radar and transponder on.

I would've go for the beer.

As quoted in the news report, "We know something happened, but don't know exactly what happened."

Way to go Mesa. :rolleyes:

You get what you pay for, I guess.

Wow.

Let's count the violations:
1. Emergency lights off
2. No F/A with PAX
3. TSA? What regs are busted there?

Can anyone think of any others?

The Radar?? Great so we're all going to be STERILE now. Way to go Mesa...
