PSA CRJ incident

Screaming_Emu won't admit it, but the reason that my employer is sending the Brasilias to be repainted in the new Continental-sort-of color scheme is so that there will be something for CRJ-200 crews to deadhead home on from the boneyard.

The Dash is a good thing out of Canada, At least the older ones, I can not speak for the 400. I will say this though. I firmly believe you will see turbo props flying for the airlines forever, 50-70 seat rj's not so much.

Rumors are stalling and stick pusher causing the flameout.

I was in the crew room in clt two weeks ago. Heard a few PSA guys talking, he said the crew got into a stall at a high altitude. They kept the airplane in V/S mode and nobody was paying attention (aka reading US weekly or People) and the plane got all the way into a stall and the engines flamed out.
 
I'm still curious how they managed to turn the turbine blades into piles of liquid metal. Did the continuous ignition (which comes on automatically prior to the shaker it sounds like) relight the engines while there was insufficient airflow in the stall, and it just turned into a hot start from hell? Sorry ignorant to a lot of turbine ops, but want to learn. :)

In a nutshell, they're picky, some more than others. :)

Good enough guess as any until the facts are made available.

Probably the only way around the scope clause. Excuse me while I study for my Brasilia-400NG type rating.

No PSA guys (except for managment and training dept folk) know what happened as of yet so I wouldn't buy too much into the rumors.
 
Any truth to the theory that this accident involved some kind of bro-mance preceding the ehhh flame outs?

Hence the secrecy. Just a theory put forth elseforum.
