A loose spanner inside an undercarriage bay might remain in place for a takeoff, but if it is dislodged during landing what do you have then? Totally different?
“The corruption, lack of controls, and the general economic situation in their countries of origin have created a nightmare.”
In such an environment is it reasonable to expect anything else?
In fact don’t you think that goes some way to explaining:
“I don’t claim that accidents, bad safety procedures and maintenance is restricted to “eastern-block” aircraft and airlines, just that their occurance is more frequent.”
Interesting that you can state categorically that there are problems with safety procedures and maintainence, yet you have no figures backing that up. Eastern maintainence has been called unefficient and uneconomical, but rarely a source of problems. One of the most uneconomical aspects of Eastern Maintainence regimes is that parts are often discarded at set times or mileages rather than the state of the part requires it.

“Thats why people avoid airlines like Aeroflot.”
“Agreed Aeroflot maybe bad within Russia.”
AVOID and MAYBE are the words i used……that means bad?
