Jetliner's Low-Fuel Landing Draws U.S. FAA Reprimand to Airline - Bloomberg Business
“Allegiant also drew scrutiny from the FAA for an Aug. 17 incident in Las Vegas in which a flight-control device on the tail broke loose, forcing pilots to abort their takeoff after reaching 138 miles (222 kilometers) an hour. Inspections afterward found another three aircraft with improperly attached flight-control bolts, which the airline said it repaired according to normal procedure..
What I want to know is who is going to jail? Allegiant management, Mav in particular making false statements to the public and federal regulators. Falsification of maintenance records, recreating the “ValuJet” corporate culture and its propensity to cut corners. I'm no $1000/Hr FH attorney, but there has to be a felony in there somewhere? Why does the the FAA and our POI not act? The longer they do nothing of substance, the more complicit they look. Airlines have been shut down for less.
