This scandal, because it’s a scandal, doesn’t really surprise me. The Airlines and especially on the US market are struggling against financial problems, against the competitors and since a while have to face a non stop rising fuel price.

In this condition saving on maintenance cost is a too big temptation. This market deregulation went way too far and some are going to die! Hopefully it will not be some passengers.

The FAA failed in it’s mission and it’s very damaging for the business and for the customers.

Shame on them!
