Seems like some crews will be gaining some extra per diem. Hope it wasnt the last day or worst yet the last leg of the day for them. LMAO.....that would suck.
On a more seious note I hope it gets looked after and quick. It will affect not only the opperation but sorry for the commuters who showed up when the flight was empty to find it now over booked or cancelled.

I have lots of experience with maintenance on the CF34 if you have to Bore Scope that many engines you are going to find damage. There are going to be some that have damage that is out of limits. CF34's run great for a long time with chunks missing from blades and you never know until you stick a bore scope in the engine and see the damage. I feel for your maintenance department they are going to be real busy and the planning department I am sure is on the hot seat.

I don't have a crystal ball I just know how bullet proof the CF34 is until you look inside.Iit is a great powerplant but you will always find something on a bore scope when the engine has been on wing for a while. There are all kinds of allowances and even deviations that GE will grant after engineering reviews the requests. With that many being checked at once there will be some headachs. No matter what it is going to suck for MX.

"4.2.09 - Voluntary Reinspections near completion
Thanks to the hard work, dedication and professionalism of ASA's Maintenance teams, ASA's voluntary reinspection has been successful and we're on track to resume full operations with a normal flight schedule by mid-day today. The voluntary reinspection of 55 percent of our CRJ200 fleet has led to customer-impacting cancellations totalling 272 flights over a 42-hour period that will end today. Our partners at Delta worked on ASA's behalf to contact impacted customers and the majority were reaccomodated on other flights within a matter of hours."
