ValueJet: Opp fra de døde - I Nigeria

I serien dårlige navn å gjenbruke så er vi nå kommet til ValueJet, som er i ferd med vekkes til live. Dog i form av en lavprisselskap i Nigeria

http://flyvaluejet.com/

Om det blir noe av gjenstår å se, men de har overtatt 2 CRJ-900 maskiner fra Air Nostrum, som Skyliner rapporterer er fløyet til Lagos

Canadair CRJ 900 15113 5N-BXS ValueJet delivery 20may22 VLC-TMR-LOS (+ 15117 5N-BXT ex EC-JZV) ex EC-JZT

Det amerikanske selskapet het ValuJet, ikke ValueJet.
 
Re: ValueJet: Opp fra de døde - I Nigeria

Det selskapet i USA var bunnen i bøtta.
Det var så lavt at flygerne måtte betale store penger for å få jobb der.
Kapteinen på den DC-9 som styrtet i flammer var en streikebryter som ikke kunne få en annen jobb for hun var så ubrukelig.
No respect....:angry:

Nei …..

However, the NTSB quickly determined that just before takeoff, 144[16] expired chemical oxygen generators, each slightly larger than the size of a tennis ball can, had been placed in the cargo compartment in five boxes marked COMAT (company material) by ValuJet's maintenance contractor, SabreTech, in violation of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations forbidding the transport of hazardous materials in passenger aircraft cargo holds.[a] Failure to cover the generators' firing pins with the prescribed plastic caps made an accidental activation much more likely. The investigation revealed that rather than covering them, the cords attached to the firing pins were simply cut or duct-taped around the cans, and Scotch tape was also used to stick the ends down. SabreTech employees indicated on the cargo manifest that the "oxy canisters", which were loosely packed in the boxes that were each sealed with tape and bubble wrap, were "empty". ValuJet workers then loaded the boxes in the cargo hold in the mistaken belief that the devices that they contained were just empty canisters, thus being certified as supposedly "safe" to transport on a passenger aircraft, when in fact they were neither simple oxygen canisters, nor empty.

Siterer orginalselskapet på det.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ValuJet_Airlines
The company was founded in 1992 and was notorious for its sometimes dangerous cost-cutting measures. All of the airline's planes were purchased used from other airlines; very little training was provided to workers; and contractors were used for maintenance and other services. The company quickly developed a reputation for safety issues. In 1995, the military refused ValuJet's bid to fly military personnel over safety worries, and officials at the FAA wanted the airline to be grounded.

After the crash, many of ValuJet's other cost-cutting practices came under scrutiny. One of its planes flew 140 times despite a leaky hydraulic system, and another flew 31 times with malfunctioning weather radar

Jeg stoppet ved minnestedet langs Hwy 41 for et par uker siden. Sterkt å se!

At noen vil starte opp flyselskap i Nigeria nå, med inflasjon, devaluering av valuta og høye driftskostnader...

Skal sikkert inn på LOS-ABV også -- for der er jo _ikke_ nok selskaper allerede...

Air Peace, Arik, Aero Contractors, Green Africa, Ibom Air, United Nigeria, Azman...
