I heard second hand that in the case dealing with the Q-400s the rivets they used were actually stronger than the FAA approved ones. If that's the case then I'd say a fine and all the press was way out of line.

The Q400 rivets were stronger than the FAA approved rivets...that's a fact. It was after the FAA showed a cautious eye later that we agreed to replace them, then comes the fine.
