    So lucky they spotted it. Really makes you think, wouldn’t it be good to implement a system of regular professional inspections to deal with stuff like that? /s

      Regular Inspections fix small issues before greater problems arise from them –> some economist with no technical knowledge or common sense goes: hurp de durp our inspections never fix any relevant defects. Better cut back on them to be more economic. –> surprisedPikachu.jpeg

        Regular inspections are already mandate by the FAA, no economist, accountant or MBA has any say on it.
