And I'm sure 4 inches of ice IN TWENTY SECONDS meets the definition of severe icing...

Lesson number 1: Don't trust a Canadian that tells you their Jet doesn't need Ice Protection on the tail-feathers. Check it out next post-flight.
Besides, I like to give my birds a peck on the cheek on the Pre-flights...makes 'em feel Loved. So I guess my brain is fried as well LoL
BTW, SkyWest did teach me the two-foot rule, thank you very much!

I don't know about "smarter than all of us". Engineers know what works on paper - not what works in reality and operational use. If you don't believe me just ask anybody in construction...

Just thought since this was a Mesa thread y'all might be interested in some news...
Some figures are being kicked around behind the scenes: hundreds of weeks of vacation have been CX to this point, and I'm not sure it won't continue to be CX all the way through '08. Per the MAG CBA the vacation is supposed to be banked, but someone pointed this out: is there any way a pilot could bank that much time and take advantage of it EVER. We're looking at a significant number of pilots having a huge number of weeks of vacation in the bank--how will they be able to take advantage of that time and not continue to contribute to the staffing problems in significant ways? I just don't see how the math will ever work on this one, and I don't see vacations happening at MAG before '09. Oh, and if they try to force a cash-out, well that will cost the company millions and right now MAG is hurting for money. Yikes.

our stock just hit an all time low, we are almost at xjt stock level...
is it still the pilots fault if were the lowest paid in the industry and we are still losing money?!?!?!
hmmm my finger continuously only goes in one direction, and the fact that they cant seem to figure out the blame it appears hopeless...
