Using a photo of a SWA 737 that has obviously been involved in some
sort of incident (probably ran off a runway somewhere) and trying to
attribute its condition to small cracks in the fuse is the stupidest
thing I've ever seen. Anybody with any sort of knowledge in this area,
and not just some ignorant conspiracy-minded kook, knows this is
complete horse sh!t.

Might have been the one that went into the gas station in california.

It's always AFTER the fact with the tombstone agency FAA

The FAA would not know the word proactive if it bit them in
the ass

I read about it earlier today. I was referring to the photo of a beat-
up SWA 737 on the weblink that nitwit "TheTruth" posted. That photo
had absolutely nothing to do with any undiscovered cracks in older
737s, and was very deceptive to say the least.

The whistle-blowers say "FAA managers" knew about the lapse
in safety at Southwest, but decided to allow the airline to
conduct the safety checks on a slower schedule because
taking "aircraft out of service would have disrupted
Southwest Airlines' flight schedule."

Two major opposing trends in current government are deregulation and
increased bureaucracy. The past 20 years or so have largely gone towards
deregulation, with the entirely predictable outcomes such as those that we
are seeing in industry, where hazardous products designed by US companies
are foisted on the public and the blame goes to the Chinese manufacturers
that followed spec; in our food chain, where cattle too sick to walk are
shoved into the processors with fork lifts; and in our infrastructure,
where bridges just collapse. "FAA managers" have no more control over
these circumstances than any other governmental office with oversight
responsibility that has been gutted to reduce spending. Sooner or later,
people might wake up to the fact that this approach just doesn't work. Or
not.

And the period of increased regulation only lasted about 20 years before
that. Of course there are those of us that don't expect the government
to be our nanny.
