Southwest’s Fine less than 2 Domains under Snowe Bill

Yesterday the Federal Aviation Administration proposed a record penalty of $10.2 million against Southwest Airlines based on the claim that SOuthwest had continued to fly 46 Boeing 737s that it said it had grounded because they had not been properly inspected for fuselage cracks.

Four of the planes had four-inch-long cracks, requiring repairs and six of the planes had the start of small cracking.

The airline said it had definitely flown airplanes that had skipped required inspections

Thousands of flights were taken by the aircrafts after the inspection dates, without inspection.

If you did the match figuring 120 people on each flight, millions of people were put at risk.

I guess this is why the government levied this record fine.

However, to remind you under the Snowe bill owning just 2 domains in violation of the bill can land you with a fine of 12 Million dollars.
