Nothing is going on (as far as flying). THAT is the problem!

Hold your horses!! They are all flying, and doing a nice job. There was some few problems (mostly false alarms) during the intruduction to the fleet. But they are flying.

[Skunkworks]

Well, you sure are holding the horses!!!

A FEW PROBLEMS during the introduction...

either you're working for SK or you are a very funny man (havent seen a combination of the two yet...) :)

Haven´t seen much of life then, have you Skunk....? You´ll grow up one day

But I agree on the subject. So far, I don´t think that anybody has been impressed by Bombardier and the Q400...

I would say that they have some problems, since SK will take the aircrafts out of service one and one until they have sorted out all the problems. It might be false alarms but that is a problem as well as any other problem, since they have had to cancel many flights with the Q400.

It´s a good looking aircraft!!!

Skunkworks: He he. For you info I do work for SAS, and there have been problems, I don´t deni that. But your statement "...Nothing is going on (as far as flying). THAT is the problem..." is not true. They ARE flying, trust me on that one.

But as Hung Start said, many got a little tired of the problems with the Q400´s. You would expect a better product from Bombardier.

'Down the runway, left off at V2, and back to your gate!'
