KGMB released an update to the story they're investigating.

The NTSB also released a prelim a couple weeks ago.

Thats what you get for "high speeds" with no hotel. A media "crap fit".

If your radio is inop...what do we all learn to do w/ no comms.... Mesa is blowin it!! :p

I'm not sure how you fall asleep on a 45 minute flight at 1000 in the morning. I can understand that freaking early show in Toronto with the 40 minute ride from downtown followed by a 3.5 hour slog to Houston. But a 45 minute hop from Honolulu to Hilo? Must have been some serious partying in Waikiki the night before.

Big talk coming from a guy who flies a Pepsi can:

You just don't get it do you.

What if they got in at midnight the night before and the leg they fell asleep on was already the third flight of the day?

What does the length of the flight have to do with any of this?:confused:

Yep, we've got some ugly ones. Still undecided on the 900 with the 35th paint job

That plane is pretty ugly, looks unfinished. Would of been better in my opnion if they painted the entire plane.

Easy there turbo...didn't realize my comment was going to offend anyone personally. Yeesh!

Anywho...my point was that on a short flight you are usually busy enough to keep awake without too much trouble. I know that for me personally, regardless of how tired or awake I am, a long flight is more fatiguing than a short one where there is plenty to keep me busy. So going back to my example, if I am rolled out of bed at 4am East Coast time (I live in the Central time zone) and then strapped into an airplane for a looooong flight, that is much more fatiguing TO ME than if I had gotten up at the same time for 2 short hops over the same period of time. Maybe I'm the only one, but I doubt it.

I'm not sure why you're jumping on case here. If anything, I agree with you and every one else. Scheduling was probably doing them dirty (with Mesa, the probability of that is very high) leading to something like this.
