You know, there are usually a row of 757 & 767s over at the hanger and north ramp, suggest that he go inspect any and or all of those aircraft. But while you're boarding? Gimme' a break! Just my off the cuff thinking, but really!
Maintenance was really PO'ed about it, but, he was an FAA maintenance inspector. I wasn't about to press to test, even though I thought he was on a one man crusade. There are two bolts, one on each seat track. If you are an ER guy/gal, you will be surprised how many are missing.
