Why are we pointing the finger at who's airplanes are crappy and who's are not. If anyone has any experience in fixing any airplane, especially a jet, would know that it only takes one bad apple to spoil a bunch. We at Eagle don't have the best MX folks just like the rest.

We too have our few bad MX apples just like we have our few bad pilots! The same held true when I worked the line fixing fighters for the USAF. EVERYONE no matter who it is, has its issues. I told a capt one day I was flying with that a piece of safety wire was hanging out of a drain hole on the motor and he asked me "what's safety wire?"

Shhhhhh...............quiet now.

Operations have been shut down for these claims and we don't want to stir up trouble. Please don't repeat this, or you too will become a troll.

Again, i never called you a troll. That was one person. What I think is that Bryris and the rest of us have hit it right on the head about your "opinion" that is evidently not based at all in fact.

If this is so important, be ethical and tell us what is wrong so we can do something about it. Our MEC has set up a regular meeting with MX and mgmt to voice our concerns and this would be the perfect information to bring up at one of these meetings. Don't you think?


Also, eaglefly, I never called you a troll, someone else did. However, it's rather unethical to tell a pilot group that they are flying ticking timebombs and not tell us what is specifically wrong. Furthermore, it's pretty unethical to supposedly have information that would cause such a strong opinion and not go to the FAA about it.

If it's "unethical" to say I choose to avoid flying on any pirticular airlines aircraft for any reason, then I'll accept my guilt. From what I've heard I'd only be telling the feds what they already know.

It surprises me that you've become so sensitive about this.........after all, just who do you think you've been working for all these years ?

You cannot tell me that you're THAT nieve, can you ?

Again, how about telling the TRANS STATES MEC!

If youve got info, you need to share it.

Reality: If you actually knew of something that was seriously wrong mechanically with those airplanes, you as a professional would report it to the FAA, anonymously if needed. I don't know you, but as a fellow professional, I am going to make that assumption of you.

Incorrect assumption, but feel free.

True translation :

Issues have been found that are unacceptable to me regarding aircraft returned to us from another carrier and based on those issues, I've made the decison to insure my safety and that of my loved ones by avoiding exposure to those conditions I feel would jeopardize my safety excessively.

I don't fly junk, rat trap GA airplanes either.

Then fly on my friend.

I retain the right to determine where I place my behind and I'll avoid TSA/GoJet until such time I'm confident of their maintenance.

'Nuff said.

One little old Eagle pilot is supposed to do that for anothers pilot group AND union ?

Perhaps you should direct your concerns to your reps to do their own fact finding work. I work for another carrier and my responsibilities are not to become a safety rep for yours...........besides, my comments are all unfounded opinion.

;)
