I guess I’ll recognize my own bias. I find an accused drunk driver posting anonymously as more credible than your average police officer.

Do you know what AMT pay is like?

Rigging / assembly of a door would normally be RII where I worked. But I don’t think this would be considered a door in that instance or RII. I think the door would probably be opened for interior up fitting. Is there a third-party vendor doing this between Boeing and Alaskan?

In a past life maintenance control would been in charge of protecting the CVR.

Well, that’s because it hadn’t happened yet. The crash was about 30 minutes later.

. One of my unionized mechanics has been with the airline 5 years. Holds weekend dayshift quite comfortably. Picked up a temporary assignment while on holiday pay and made $18,000 last week. Most of my mechanics, including myself, got A&P’s at technical schools. Our school bill wasn’t...

How do we determine distracted driver?

Seems like a 3rd of the people I pass are watching videos, scrolling social media or reading POA on their phones. They swerve here and there and tailgate slower traffic. Its not an accident. Maybe I am irrational, but I believe getting there is a much better chance getting hit by a distracted...

Cops spew crap all the time. The station owner/attendant probably called to complain about the car being left. I would not be surprised at all to learn the rest was made up.

Nope

Waste of our money IMO. Fine him, pull his cert, and ban him from social media. The world will be a better place. Now he is just using it for more attention…

One of my in-laws used to say they were too old to buy green bananas!

Purely for resale value, I do not believe you can justify a factory reman. As a mechanic/buyer after a few years or a couple hundred hours in the difference would be zero to me.

For my part, I found flying behind the Foggles pretty easy. I remember coming up with the first impression that IMC flying wouldn’t be tough. Luckily, I reflected on that thought pretty quickly, that really scared me. Maybe this pilot had similar thoughts?

My primary concern is not the material. The filament directions you’d have to use would be nearly in the same direction as the existing crack. IMO that’s 100% guaranteed to crack again immediately. 3-D printing a mold would be a better use of the machine. But outside of doing that for fun you...

That looks like one application I would like something other than a ny-lock.

Meglin in the classifieds might be able to help. I have a 3d printer and could likely make that. I am thinking that's probably not the best solution for this application.

Never worked the E175, but we pull fire handles in MX for certain checks on a variety of other AC. I do not recall any action other than resetting the switch or handle.

I have purchased some from Public Surplus. Most of the time Gov sellers have no appetite for embellishing anything. At the same time the gov employees tend to be pretty rough when handling surplus machines. There are not catches as far as the auction is concerned. You just need to do you...

Anyone familiar with these care to speculate how they seemingly got into a stall while on AP? It sounded like he was having trouble getting the nose back down. I’m assuming it would have an alarm for excessive trim movement but I didn’t see that noted in the transcript.
