This thread is getting comical now beyond it's use. By the way did everyone get the email from the MEC about the yea or nay vote on the strike? Should be interesting now in Hulas land.

Yes, I think it'll get interesting. I feel there won't be any issues with the junior pilots, but the pilots that are senior and close to retiring might make it interesting when the time comes to vote.
To bad pilots that are furloughed can't vote :(. |

If I remember correctly, I think 806 started it's life as a 135, then a 140, then finally a 145. Not sure if that's the correct tail number, but I know one of the planes there was a test bed for Embraer.

It was 849...it was SN-002. Yes it was a testbed. Yes it was chopped up many times and welded back together. It's been returned to the lessor and no longer on property. Along with 850 SN-003, which has also been returned, I think it had a similar history.

That would explain why the damn thing was always so crooked... (I just thought hulas had rubbed off on it) |

I think there are too few selfish guys senior guys on property to make much of a difference. We might get 98% instead of a 100% authorization this time. Either way, its going to be a big eff you to management.

I for one agree with Captain Carl :).
All we need is a "in favor" vote. We need all Waterskiers to fill out their ballots, and make sure you have your voter credentials, and a VIN and PIN code to cast a ballot. Lets Get Er Done. |
Not that it matters because they know the furloughed guys would be in favor of a strike.

Latest update on the Eagle/TSA planes
from another board According to some MX guys in ABI that I visited with, they were so concerned about what was being discovered on some of the repo aircraft that they called the FAA to come take a look for themselves. Once instance he told me was where the fuel low level warning kept going off on one of the aircraft, so TSA MX simply cut the appropriate wire so the warning would no longer go off. Gotta wonder about this one. The wire cut to stop the warninig but the computer is still putting out the warning. With the computer thinking that the fuel level is low....how could you get a "Take-off Okay" message? :cool: |
