because the md80s a strong structure and a/a owns most of them. our screwjacks are well greased and have always been even before the alaska air crash. thats why they use a/a maint. schedule now. everybodys an expert but doesn't know jack unless your in a/c maint.
F U Buddy.. we do maint. @ a/a. the wiring problem was never a safety issue. the issue was that the wires were not tied exactly 1" apart. we had a/c's that were cleared at 1 station than grounded again because the next faa fag didn't agree with the other faa fag from the first station. faa got caught sleeping with swa then turned on a/a and others who use md 80s 88s and 90s. faa allowed swa to fly the 737s with the sunroof open and with unapproved parts.
and im getting mad at them for just delayed flights! I had to stay at SFO for 3 hours on my way back to chicago only because of snow on the ground! also i had to switch planes because the md 80 i was about to fly on had a cracked windshield! I cant beileve they did not notice that before it went out onto the tarmac! what a cheap airline!!!
American airlines has 272 MD80's and it is in the process of bringing these out of its fleet in exchange for 737-800's, but 737-800's cost $50-$85million EACH. It takes time to make so much money and be able to replace planes that are the heart of domestic flights for American Airlines.
