March 13, 201214 yr Ouch, I guess they didnt do a good inspection before acually testing the aircraft -Sean L PPL + IFR, SEL HP/Complex.. LAS WN Ground Ops

March 13, 201214 yr As we all know SH*T Happens. It just seems to happen to Delta these days more than to any other airline in the free world. Delta didn't get where it is today without working for it...Yes, As a former Bigsky mechanic, I have issues with Scab air.

March 13, 201214 yr The thing I like to know, was why were they testing the engines on the far side of the taxiway where there isn't enough time to stop if something gives way, and not at the start of the taxiway, where the would have had more time to react?

March 28, 201214 yr I have issues with Scab air.That sounds like an insult to another airline. I'm not sure which airline you're calling a scab, but please don't bash other companies in the forums.
