I can just see the senate hearings on approving 10 cent co monitors.

So anyone know if the plane went on to fly with or without an mx inspection. You would think that it would happen again or mx fixed it and someone from pinnacle can relay what happened.

You've obviously never dealt with 9E MX control. Quite possibly the most uneducated, redneck, and "just fly it, it'll be fine, I can't believe you wrote that up" group of individuals you will ever deal with.

Everything at 9E rides on the pilots... most dispatch releases chock full of mistakes, scheduling pushing you to fly illegal... you name it. And if you dont catch their mistakes- you still get burned.


That being said, excellent job to the crew!

Hmmm, methinks the write up went something like this:

CA: Excessive CO in cockpit - CA and FO incapacitated.

MX: Cannot duplicate on the ground. Ops check good. Return to service.

I cannot wait the see what the FAA decides to do about this...probably a new AD that will require the crew to have one pilot on O2 for all flights (in addition to speed limitations for the flaps below 200 kts, flaps 45 diversion fuel, setting 10 degrees of pitch on T/O, etc.)

They will do nothing of course! Per usual, the NTSB will make a recommendation and the FAA will ignore it!

Anyone know how this was conveyed to the pilot group by management? Curious how they explained the incident.... probably something cryptic followed by "put on your oxygen masks immediately if anything doesn't seem right."

Interesting this has happened AGAIN......

This happened to another crew in MEM about 2 months ago. At some point during the event they sent mx control an acars and mx's response was that they must have flown through something..
Simply the best boys and girls, simply the the best.....

Where's the media now? How could a "regional" crew know what they were doing? They aren't trained like the majors.......

Bravo to the crew....
Be safe and Merry Christmas

Yeah pretty much!

150 people need to die in order to get the FAA to take any action what so ever.

Sad, isn't it?
