Do Not Read if You are On an Airplane

Several weeks ago I missed Nick’s (my older son) graduation and graduation party due to maintenance issues and airline supervisors and maintenance staff attempting to convince the pilot and aircrew to take a broken plane. I provided a copy of my editorial, published several weeks ago, to the airline the day before publishing. I received a settlement from the airline and official apology.

However, my experiences are not unique. The following article was written by a journalist for Consumer Reports: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2009/08/airline_maintenance.html

We have had a number of aircraft, both domestically and abroad, either crash or have significant problems, including many that have made the news or that individuals have experienced. The issue relates to the concept of cutting corners in maintenance, including areas that may not be considered ‘critical.’ Basically, individuals or groups who have taken the basic rules for optimizing maintenance and stretching them far beyond expectations.
