Taking the wrong a/c
I recall taking the wrong plane...the board at the gate said: IND.
The paperwork in the plane showed WX for IND and the flight plan for IND.
The people that got on the plane were going to IND
The baggage on the plane was going to IND
We were going to IND
halfway to IND, we got an ACARS message saying we took the wrong plane
We looked closely at the paperwork and sure enough the "N" number was for a different plane.
The funny thing is / was that the other "N" number plane had never gotten to the departure airport.
The plane we took was the only one of its type at the field with our Paintjob.
The mistake had happened days before. Someone botched up the lines of flight for 2 planes.
From then on I did look at the "N" number on the flight plan a bit closer...same thing with MX log book "N" numbers.
How does this pertain to LEX? It might show fatigue, it might show a screwup or it might be a paperwork error by someone in a concrete building sipping a cup of coffee.
y'all be careful out there
