Should 700uw Change Names

[MarkMyWords]

In your eyes perhaps. To a customer there is very little difference. Both scenarios cause anxiety and apprehension.

Quit trying to rationalize or sluff this off as a non-event. If an airplane came out of MAE with the same problems, we would have had to endure reading through another 5700 posts from you bashing contract maintenance.

You are just like a certain poster, throw everyone else under the bus just as long as you get to keep your job.

Simply amazing.

Some of you guys are amazing. I am NOT a corporate apologist, nor an IAM basher, but face it, the plane broke, was broken, and still is broken after it came out of a US facility. Stuff happens, we all know that, its just amazing that its no big deal when it does, yet if someone else does it all h*ll breaks loose. You guys lose a lot of credibility with me when you fight so hard one way and then slough it off when it happens the other way.
As far as it not being a big deal, I dont think the lady who didnt make it to PKB last night to get to the hospital for her daughters surgery this morning would feel the same way.

Since we are wasting BW, lets place bets where the first crash and burn will originate, contract or in house.....My money says contract work flames first with odds you wouldn't really want to know. "Mark My Words"

 

[MarkMyWords]

Not at all. I have supported keeping all of the mtc in house, but I will not sensationalize certain events to fit an agenda. Then, when there are similar events when the work is brought back in house, I will not bury my head in the sand and try to convince myself (and everyone else) that it is different.

You are the one with an agenda and have been trying to prove a point.

The topic is A/C 714 having a gear problem, not what I should do.

But once again it is easier for all you management types to attack a poster instead of sticking to the topic.

No one is attacking the poster they are attacking what the poster won't admit.

Like I said, I did not see 27 US Airways mechanics get arrested just like what happened at TIMCO last month. False documented workers touching airplanes.

Like I said, all of our mechanics are legal and have certificates, but it happened to us.

US mechanics driven by safety not profit.

Working safely does not mean that these things won't happen. Just look at yesterday.

And maybe the mechanics followed the job card written by the company or the maintenance manaul and the problem was seemed to be fixed on the ground, but when got in the air it resurfaced.

I thought somebody tried to use this reason for MAE's work, but you kept posting that that was not true per AOG IN IT.

You are all jumping to conclusions and would rather attack me then realize our mechanics are better then any MRO.

No one said they are not beter, just that these thiings can happen to a unionized, safe , legal company just like other places.

Ask the families of the Valujet Everglades about contract employees or the families of the Air Midwest crash in CLT how they feel about contract MTC.

Even Boeing's own contract mtc was held liable for a failed pressure bulkhead repair on an Japanese 747 that crashed.

 

[tadjr]

Yeah, and if US were doing contract work like some other carriers and this happened, then more contract work would have had a problem wouldnt it? It just would have been contracted to US from someone else. Stuff happens to everyone. It might happen more often to non company contract companies, but it happens to EVERYONE at one time or another.
Chock in the wheelwell ring a bell?

Your reaching. Stick to the topic at hand. Did you or did you not take full advantage of every aircraft that came out of MAE to point out hoe they screwed up. Are you going to admit that we can have issues also with our aircraft. Don't point out old news over and over. There is fresh evidence of this with our aircraft.

 

[MarkMyWords]

And how many incidents/accidents can be attributed to in-house work? Hmmm, a 734 with a gear up landing in GSO comes to mind.

 

[700UW]

That was not mechanical work, that was a chock left in the wheelwell.

Try again.

 

[MarkMyWords]

and the chock was left in the wheel well by the chock fairy?

 

[PITMTC]

Was it an emergency landing with fire trucks waiting for them?

There is a big differance when you RTF then RTF declaring an emergency.

Why don't you ask some the of the F/As that participate on this board what a passenger's reaction is on the pilots declaring an emergency then just returning to the field for a minor maintenance issue.

I have been on flights that returned to the field for a non-emergency mtc issue and it did not bother or the other passengers, when we landed there was another plane waiting for us to board, no fire trucks, no evacuation, no emergency.

Big differance.

[post="265502"][/post]​

Please tell me oh knowledgeable one, how the FAA differentiates a RETF with emergency vehicles being called out and one without? We have landings with emergency vehicles being called out all the time for silly things. They are not even RETF , they are simply issues that the crew makes the emergency call. As a matter of fact, if you where prevy to the fair reports you would see how many times it does happen. Ges what, NO DIFFERENCE!
