i guess someone finally decided to put a stop to the unsafe operation of the DC10's, hope its for good, but the main thing like always in that company, mecanics releasing the a/c for the next flight, realising a failure, or pilots afraid to stop the plane knowing that they have a NOGO item, just to please the boss or the owner, and sometimes we dont even know wy we do it, its some times like your in a DONT GIVE A SH..... MODE day, and for what, the $1.100 they make a month, gotta be kiddinn me!!!, but, its the truth, and its seen evryday here
INAC (civil aviation) should start looking as well inside the techlogs and book's of the ATR's and the Cessnas, wich eventhough their the newest on the fleet, it doesnt mean, theyre in better shape, for christ sake we flew the ATR's yeras ago days without any brakes, and the 727's.......and where thinking of being CAT 1, to fly to the states again, ja ja ja ja, like this, its starting to look a lot like ZULIANA, when they where grounded in Miami years ago, and we (commercial aviation) went into mode 2 of safety for the world to see since then.
what the owners and specially the head that runs the company should do is; with all the money they slash from pilots, mecanics, ground crew, and cabincrew in sallaries and 3rd class hotels for the overnights, per diems, to name some, is at invest a little in spare parts and propper facillities for the job, but of course their not gonna do this, their to busy making all that money for them.
like we are used to say after a landing, our copilot is GOD and the FE is Jesus when flying this machines.............and for what?......1.100 USD............ ohh and thats a DC10 dont wanna go into ATR or lower...........
the ones who jump onboard that nice cockpit are the ones to blame for not putting a stop to it. look at the recent accidents all over the planet this past 45 days, in example the ATR72, the crew knew bout a fuel indication problem and still decided to go, and that technical fault had been going for a while there, its no mistery, and maybe just maybe departed with just a little to much less fuel load?
look at other countries like spain, france, germany, italy; where they go on strike for almost anything, and they are succesfull in reaching their goals with the company, or Uk where a mere strike on the catering (FOOD!!!!!!and bad one too) people caused millions in losses each day for BA,
but here in contrast whe jump onto OLD, bad maintained a/c's, OLD, or operated beyond their limits, its OLD planes likes this the ones being banned as you read this from, france, belgium, US, simply cause their OLD, and were not talking about some Vintage car that an old man drives only on his off days to go to the bakery store, this is jurasik park
just stand alone in MIQ (SVMI) and you'll see on any given day, if it is in the morning, you will have a battallion of 737NG, or 757 or A320, or if it is in the afternoon, the dispaly is B747-400, 767-300, A340, and more and more A320 and 737NG, and nicelly sitting next to them you will have the RETRO-airshow, dash7, DC3's, 727, 737-200, and yes the DC9, in all its wonderfull variants, and yes the noise!
maybe barbara will get some MD11's or even 777's who knows & yes!!!!!!!!!!!pay &^%$#^%$@ to the pilot's
what a sad story it is
