I didn't mean "screwing around" in the literal sense. I mean you don't take any chances with doors, because of the passengers.

There were some guys who "decided" that a Beech 1900 had a bad sensor and the door was fine. The door popped open an inch at 190 and they had a rapid decompression.

They made it down under 10k fine, everyone had a mask on, but there was the devil to pay at the carpet dance the next day.

You said follow the procedure......how do you know the procedure is to land at the nearest suitable airport?

It's the standard Bombardier (manufacturer's) procedure for the CL-65. It's also the standard manufacturer's procedure for every other pressurized aircraft I've flown , which includes King Airs, Conquest, Beech 1900 and Boeing 737. SkyWest has always appeared to me as a reasonable airline and I don't see any reason why they would deviate from the recommended or standard procedure. Please enlighten me if they have.

I have a Mesa EM120 emergency checklist here, although I never flew the aircraft. It says:

DOOR WARN: Do not touch door or door handle. Make a PA and require passengers to remain in seats with seatbelts fastened. Instruct FA to take a seat. Descend below 10,000 ft if possible and divert to nearest suitable airport. (somewhat paraphrased.)

I have made the assumption that this is a manufacturer's procedure since Mesa rarely deviated from such.

I think the reason why people are so hostile towards you John is because of the way you respond to things.

Oh yeah you're one to talk LOL. Although I've never disagreed with you before, since I read what you say - and not how you say it. Most of what you say is pretty sound.

Some people around here pick on how I say things. My friends read what I say, and do not nitpick on how I say it. Perhaps if you took the time to get to know me you might interpret it differently. Don't read in to what I say - please take it at face value. Or not. Whatever.
