corpus shut down

[tk628]

trying to see if anyone can put this rumor mill to death... word on the street is contractors were using bad parts out in corpus, grounded everyone for a bit

I can attest that all T-34s and T-44 were grounded for several (4?) days for maintenance reasons. TC-12's anyone? Don't recall them being down.

The rest is speculation to me...no idea what about maintenance grounded us..

 

[gaetabob]

the TC-12's were the only one's flying. For some reason they're using a different contractor.

Sikorsky Support Services failed AMMT. Badly. To the point where if it was a fleet squadron the CO, XO and MO would be looking for new jobs.

Pardon my ignorance... but what is AMMT?

I flew the Friday they all went down--it was like flying on the weekend.

Have they managed to get many of them back up?

 

[scoober78]

Yeah...we were back to a normal operating schedule the following Tuesday...however ACNA's have been abundant and aricraft are not being issued on time. For example, today, by 11, -28 had 9 ACNA's. This has been more the rule than the exception.

I've seen 2 ACNAs thus far in 35 (~2-3 months).

Scoob, whatever the hell your avatar is, I'm afraid it's going to give me nightmares after this mildly drunken posting on AW at 3 am...
