farkin amazing. good job to that crew!

yeah. I can just imagine what that would have been like. Mountaneous terrain, unknown cause for engine failure, Loud EXPLOSION, and still they earned their dime,, and it is literally a dime. I just wanted to say that these guys proved that pilots aren't always a reflection of an airline. these guys where professional and were able to bring a severely damaged plane back and save the lives of 50 pax, 1 fa and their own.

You can thank Johnny O for that, I d be taking a look at the MX I bet Johnny O Skipped out on a Overhaul hehe

well since that flight was probably a mx cancellation under mesa rules, they may not have gotten paid for that flight at all! god i hope they get a better contract, one that at least pays actual block time

Thankfully, a maintenence cancellation such as this ("controllable" cancellation) is paid...just not the "uncontrollable" types (i.e: weather, ATC). On the other hand, all of the flying this crew was supposed to do the rest of the day/trip would be dropped, and they wouldn't get paid squat for that. Hopefully, if that were the case, a Chief Pilot would step up to the plate and pay protect them for a job well done, and saving lives in the process. But, what am I saying...it's Mesa :rolleyes:

I agree...kudos to the crew for making this a non-event, and not worthy of news consideration.

In my experience, the company tends to "accidently" mis-code MX canxs as something else (so they don'y have to pay the crew).

Pretty hard to gloss over this one though... :rolleyes:

Like the other day when my ERJ broke and they switched it to a CRJ flight (after I was at the airport and at the a/c getting ATIS...etc.). What do they tell me??? "It isn't a Mx Cancellation, it is an Equipment Downgrade". It felt like a Seinfeld episode.... "No pay for you!

Block or better, or walk in September.

mesa should change there name to SDP Airlines - "Skywest Development Program"
