Gonna make arguing that $12m fine they got last year a lot harder.

And he inspected all 128 jets by himself!

And then I got a package in the mail from an investigator, unsigned. It was a piece of rudder from the United flight 585 that went down near Colorado Springs.

And Billo the clown is reporting that he did the inspections himself.

Ha! That's funny right there!

I gotta call BS on that one, he got help.

Holy crap that's funny. Forgot about ole' Tim Martins.

As I recall according to the powers that be there was NEVER anything wrong with the rudder actuators (the pilots screwed up with incorrect rudder or a windshear "rotor" spun a couple of jets out of control.) But just in case we will inspect the actuators.... and have interim fixes... and fly faster than crossover speed until fully configured... and replace all the actuators... But there was never anything wrong with the rudder actuators in the first place...really??! They just went thru these steps to fix a problem that never existed? Hmm. OFG

Southwest really has had "issues" with maintenance compliance over the last 7-8 years...

No. Windshear rotors. Planes were in compliance. SWA was ahead of the NTSB/FAA on this one. And Boeing. They're always way ahead of Boeing when it comes to the 737.
