Ground said sure, then Mainline Delta pipes in on tower with "Did you run the QRH?"
100% unsolicited, unhelpful dbag advice.

NTSB initial indications are that 2 1st stage fan blades separated. Very similar to the last event. The groundings could last a while. Lucky we have a bunch of C models just sitting around waiting to fly.
I don't know if they might be talking a 1 time inspection, then reduced intervals, or something more drastic like reduced time limited parts. More to come. Really too early to tell much.
I did fly an A model the next day before they were grounded.

I might give him *some* BoD since they were struggling with a primary flight control, ATC thought they were in the chimchee, and ATC solicited help on ground freq.

If you listen to the tape, you can see WHY they hadn't gotten around to it.
The obvious memory item for something like this is turn that crap off... cutout switches, CB's, whatever.

So you’re telling me that if you’re fighting for your life to get control of your plane, you’re going to open up and run the QRH before you get control back? I’m surprised the republic guys even entertained the delta guy with an answer.

Now that I have answered your question, I suppose it’s fair to tell you that I’m not an IV drug user, and never have been. I do happen to have a substantial amount of time working with ALPA and the FAA in this area.....and my statement stands. Nobody is slamming kerosene to get high. If our resident troll provides a source for his tripe, I will gladly eat my words.
