no 'Monday Morning' components were included in the assembly, because of poor working practices and poor management oversight.
You only had to stroll around a USSR factory to see why that was - if the factory was dingy, dirty and rubbish strewn, what chance was there for consistently perfect component manufacture?

Strange how you Americans, are using those same companies to launch satellites, but never ever had a space shuttle failure? /sarc

Half of the Interjet's fleet of 22 grounded. First one will be back in service after repairs on Jan 5th and the last one not until Jan 30th.

~20% increase in domestic flights in 2016 YoY
~10% decrease in international flights, mostly due to Turkey/Egypt ban

You don't live there.
The changes in useage are quite simply a reflection of the fallen Rouble rate, and the bankrupcy of large numbers of the tour operators.
Domestic flights are cheap, but we knew that with subsidies and a/p taxes paid in Rouble.
International flights are expensive, with higher a/p taxes payable in foreign, so it doesn't take a maths degree to work out the stunning downturn.
The "average" Russian consumer no longer can afford that holiday in the sun, so AFL mainly being government owned, heavily promoted subsidised tourism to Krym, which has an absolute collapse of its tourist industry, and a staggering 100% price rise on the peninsula.
It's now yet another miserable failed semi-region with lower standard of living even than impoverished Pskov or Novgorod, which are well recognisable black holes.
Crimea had around 6 million visitors a year before the 2014 annexation
There's statistics, lies, damn lies and manipulations.
Indeed they aren't. But if cracks appear in a load bearing metal structure unexpectedly, that can mean ONLY two things:
1) structural load was greater for some reason than anticipated and designed for; or
2) metal properties did not meet design specifications.
Neither bode too well...

; or
3) additional stress was put on the item due to the manufacturing process (e.g. poor tolerances)
In that case, the issue may have already ben cought up by the learning curve of the production staff...
