Safety inspection of airliners before you fly them?

It’s a bold idea. But it just might work.

The US Navy recently replaced the P-3 Orion with the P-8 Poseidon.

While not the “Max” version, the P-8 is the 737 platform......which fly over my house every day. 😏

Inspect all you want but the fault falls on the fools installing the fasteners and essential hardware. Lack of training seems to be the problem.

The FAA shouldn't just be checking the planes. They should also be checking the work-force and quality control at Spirit AeroSystems.

There's an old joke that says "You can tell a Harley rider by the wrench hanging out of his back pocket".

(Harley motors were known for their vibration, which supposedly drove girls wild but also loosened all the bolts so the rider had to periodically retighten them)

Maybe a new joke is warranted for 737 operators?
