Okay. Although I work for the airlines, I am not privy to the available capacity and retirement of aircraft.
I would assume both AA and SW do not want an accident on their record, yet they both find the airplane airworthy. If it was a non issue to ground them I wonder why they don’t voluntarily do so...
Nobody said it was a non issue. But it isn't nearly as big of one as "grounding an entire fleet." Again the vast majority of both airlines fleets will be remaining in the air.
And nobody would think Ford would argue against a regulatory change to fuel systems that would cost about $11per car and save the bad publicity of 180 gruesome burn deaths a year between their pinto and other cars from various manufacturers with the same type fuel system right? But they did just that. Sometimes companies do indeed lose the big picture
