How do I know? I've been working in aircraft maintenance for a long time, and have dealt with it at most levels in the industry. A lot of years working with the government, too, including a lot of maintenance. How long have you maintained aircraft, then?
When encountered? Did you read the article or watch the news clip?
Most of these guys that came forward said they have contacted the FAA and/or NTSB investigators....
The ‘safety guy’ that was interviewed kept repeating the same verbiage and couldn’t even answer the reporters question honestly. Not to mention the guilty/nervous look on his face.
I wouldn’t have any faith in the FAA. Watch the documentary “flying cheap.” The FAA is essentially paid off/bribed by the big airlines... welcome to reality.
But, then again, time and time it shows that all this stuff could be happening right infront of your face and people would still choose to not believe it.
