FYI Value Jet was not doing anything that every airline was or is not doing right now.. check your Facts before you get off at the Mouth.. Value Jet used contract Maintenance and EVERY AIRLINE have and are to this day USE contract Maint for everything from a Simple A check to a Heavy D check to Modification work.. How do I know cause I have been in this industry for 17 yes I am a A&P worked at Numerous MRO stations,, on the question of safety, I hope you should know that even the Legacy Carriers are outsourcing their Maint to South America and Asia. the public dont care where the maint is being done they just Care that they can Buy a Tix from NY to LA for Dirt Cheap, Get off of Air Tran back and Check out ALL Carriers who are doing the same thing
