Gojets fined??
 
Rumours have it that gojets has been fined $66 million for not doing a mandatory inspection on the landing gear system. The inspections was signed off, but FAA found that they had never been done.

Asked an FAA safety inspector based in STL and he said he couldnt comment since it was under investingation..

Details anyone??

66 million would be pretty stiff ......

What i heard was that there is a x-hour(dont know the number) inspection and they havent done it once since the airplanes was new.... that was 60 mill. In addition they had signed off that a new engine was put on a plane, but the new engine was still in hangar, while plane was flying.... 6 mill for that one....

Mesa mx man for man were good guys overall. Overworked and underpaid like the rest of the employee group. Once again mgmt was the problem in the equation.

I will get drunk, climb light poles, and get yelled at by rent-a-piggies.
By the way, I jumpseated from IND to STL today on the same flight as Miss EH from our TSA class. I'm still hoping she and Miss JC join the ranks of CHQers. :cool:
