Makes for interesting reading ... use of car parts to repair airplanes, pilots scheduled beyond FAR limits, falsification of records, and at least tangential involvement in the worst fatal accidents of the past decade ... .
The B School crowd believes that maintenence is regulatory and the rest is insured. That's how they are taught. They have to regurgitate that (among many other unsustainable company trashing beliefs) to not only get good grades but to get into the schools in the first place. Ditto for the throngs of incompetent Keynesian "economists", some of them peace prize winners, that don't know the basics of supply and demand or even how money works. And our march towards being over schooled and under educated continues.

And once again, a gutter trash company is hired yet excellent results are expected.

Someone probably got a bonus for their brave, innovative cost control measures even though all they did was sign the lowest bidder which a minimum wage intern could have done.

Brilliant.


Plus you gotta love that before the ink even dried in the TA the company inked deals with 37 seat and under props which don't count towards the limits and weren't in any of the DCI numbers being advertised. "They don't even want those, they just got rid of the Saabs, amirite?"
