[MQAAord]

Oh man.

Reminds me of the time at Eagle when something was wrong with the fuel level indicators. It was impossible to know exactly how full the tanks were. (Something on our ATR had gone screwy on the way to DSM.)

Dispatch, MTX and other assorted parties talked it out for a few hours and then finally decided that since it was impossible to know an exact level by the usual methods, the only thing they could do was fill the tanks to their max limits verified visually. So they topped off the tanks. 10,000 lbs of fuel later we headed back to ORD.........

Or the many times that something (anything really, just pick something) would break on us at an outstation. It would require a call to MTX, a call to dispatch. We'd be told the parts and the mechanics would be flown out on the next flight. Of course the next flight would have already left by this time, so they'd have to wait for the NEXT one. When that flight finally arrived, invariably the wrong part had been loaded. So it would be sent on the next flight. It usually missed that next flight (again) so if we were lucky it would arrive in the evening sometime. Maybe it would get fixed that night, as long as it really was the right part after all. This scenario happened so many times at Eagle.......
