Wheel falls of Northwest Plane at MEM

[Kev3188]

ringmaruf, you're a bigger joke than the reporter and paper that wrote this for bringing this crap to this board.

The only joke bigger than the Commercial Appeal's journalistic "punch" is NW's maintenance program.

You have access to aircraft records, do you not? If you're so convinced that it's a bogus report, why not put some evidence on here to prove it.

 

[Hackman]

Couldn't this fine reporter at least have gotten the tail or flight number of this aircraft during her interview with the "shop workers"?

There is an on going strike and the scab maintenance allowed a tire to fall off an aircraft and all the story gets is three lame sentences from a third world 10th rate reporter?

Just maybe our famous slum cruiser has some new insight.

Moderator if someone can't come up with anything better than this bogus report on this topic, I think its out lived its shelf life

Well 'Cods, since your the NWA SUPERscab, why don't you pull up the incident on a Scab Air computer? Call MEM and ask them if they could give up any information on this "bogus" report. Should be easy to do for a smart scab like yourself. :unsure: Afraid to face the fact that Scab Air is dangerous and the incidents are getting more and more frequent? We understand.

You dance around in circles 'Cods with your gums flapping, yet you still have no documented facts to refute anything as of yet. Your scab rhetoric is getting very old indeed. Don't cry to the Moderator like a little school girl because you don't like the topic which shows Scab Air in a bad light....again.

Post some documented proof to back your "its all bogus" claim, or shut your scab pie hole!!!!!

HERE YOU GO 'CODS!!!!! FOUND A PICTURE OF THE INCIDENT!!! ITS ALL BOGUS, RIGHT??? JUST LIKE SCAB AIR....

BTW 'Cods, don't just love the B747 on its nose in Guam? I have the feeling it won't be the last.

Also, TM will not allow you to post your ignorant scab bootlicker comments on his board, so don't bother trying.

Hackman we all know that happened on AMFA's watch. I asked the MAPS what happened with the DC-9 wheel most hadn't heard nothing of it and the ones that had couldn't show me anything on it. We did a search through the AOS and an ATA by fleet search. No results. It seems that they all heard of the one here at DTW about a year and a half ago, wouldn’t that have been on AMFA's watch? Also I found out there were two such incidents at MSP a day apart from each other about two years ago. I think that would have been on AMFA's watch also.

You guys get mad because we couldn’t predict the failure of an engine. Do you guys think the families were mad when you guys couldn’t predict the structural failure of a vertical stab? I guess those things happen when you pencil whip the x-rays.

Incorrect again 'Cods. Are you saying the MEM DC-9 didn't lose a main? Even after you have seen the photo? The nosedown Guam NWA B747 was fresh outsourced junk out of SASCO in China. You really should get your facts straight at some point 'Cods, but I guess you just love the taste of shoe leather. Can you tell us what the B747 "N" number was? I know it, do you?

The AA Airbus flight 587 crash was shown to be pilot error officially, but the aircraft had been through severe turbulence about 2 years previous to the accident (wouldn't have happened with a Boeing). Snapping the tail off should not ever have happened, but many think the previous turbulence weakened the mounts which is difficult too see in composites. The tail was inspected as required and showed no faults, its all in the NTSB accident report if you ever bothered to read it. But then you might actually has some substantiated documentation, and that might ruin your seemingly endless idiocy here.

Any airline can have problems as we all know. But the recent rash of NWA "mishaps" during the Scab Air phase is well documented, and continuing to occur at an alarming rate. Of course you read this article not long ago; http://www.amfa33.org/strike/faa_inspectors100205.htm

I'm sure in your professional scab bootlicker opinion its all just bogus hogwash perpetrated by AMFA and a FAA/AMFA simpithizer. Keep trying to refute the irrefutable 'Cods. Your running out of excuses. :blink:

Your picture is a better joke than the article. I have never seen an aircraft immediately after a tire came off, but I would be willing to bet when it does happen the anti-skid transducer would be ripped from the axle.

Please lets not try to resurrect DEAD BIRDS Dead Bird.

We know all about that silly paper you guys enjoy so much.

So are you back to insisting the DC-9 tire incident is a work of fiction???

Seems your "instant airline mechanic" training in PHX was a bit inadequate. The antiskid transducer is inside the axle and has it's own retaining hardware. The pins that connect it to the hubcap might be damaged, but the transducer is going nowhere. Ask around at work, maybe someone you work with has actually seen one.

Please lets not try to resurrect DEAD BIRDS Dead Bird.

Make fun of it all you want, the fact remains that the FAA inspector in that case found an undiscovered/unreported bird strike on a JT8 engine that you scabs had missed on your walk-around.

The maintenance manual requires at least a visual inspection of the inlet, and if any damage is found it requires a borescope inspection to determine the extent of the damage and whether the engine is safe for operation. You can't just placard that one, scabby.

But you boys didn't even find the discrepancy in the first place, did you? Must make your passengers feel pretty safe...

darn good thing I dont fly on NWA as long as the SCABS are fixing the planes--that is fixing them to have parts fall off.

You are correct about the transducer being in the axle and the coupling with the pins actually being the part that sticks out and slips into the hub. Not that the picture is great but I don't see any damage to the pins.

I do not know what case you are talking about but in this case the myth goes, there was an Old Wise Bird that watched a scab mechanic do his walk around. The Old Bird really hated scabs. He knew his time was short and wanted his death to be a memorable one and he so wanted to hurt the scab. When the scab completed his walk around the Old Bird flew down and perched himself in the engine inlet where he died shortly after. Then as predicted here comes the FO on his walk around who quickly finds the DEAD Old BIRD and holds him up in praise. "Look what the Scab missed!! NWA is sure to fail now and AMFA will be victorious over this attack on the labor movement!! I shall go now and present this gift from the gods to the FAA."

...and so the legend of DEAD BIRDS Dead Bird was born.

it seemed to me that there was an article on the bird strike into an engine on a DC-9 and it occurred right after you scabs started doing the job of REAL mechanics.
in fact I even posted some things that you may or may not have agreed with me on.

No it is not a work of fiction. The tire did come off, I still have not been able to get any details on the matter. Also the three other times that I have heard about the DC-9 tires coming off under AMFA's watch is not a work of fiction either.

Okay, then these "three" other times you "heard" of tires coming off of DC-9s under AMFAs watch........have you been able to get any details on those matters???

 

[PlayTheOdds]

Just from the guys that have worked here for quit awhile. As far as looking it up, no I have not.

The wheels are coming off the entire operation over there at RED TAIL!
