"Wonder how many other airlines have illegals working as airplane mechanics."

Makes me wonder... I'm hoping the Feds are combing through all airline personnel and YES, PROFILING!

You have to be FAA licensed to work on any aircraft (not just commercial) which reqiuires several years of apprenticeship, testing and certification.

The people in question were most likely line people responsible for fueling, towing, general clean-up etc.

All work done on an airplane must be signed off by a FAA licensed mechanic.

The illegals aren't just working as mechanics, they're pilots, too.
