At the risk of repeating MYSELF, judging standards against America West pilots is NOT a good thing!
I find this press release interesting...
Officials at America West Airlines [AWA] believe the findings of the National Program Review are outdated. "We have made tremendous progress since the audit," declared a company official. A company statement issued when the final report of the National Program Review was released said, "The findings do not accurately reflect the state of affairs at America West today ... Today we are offering our customers safe, consistent, reliable service that is good or better than any other airline. This performance should provide assurance that America West is operating a far different airline today than it was 18 months ago." >TK
Whether it is about it's 41,000 aircraft safety violations (maintenence and other) that they were fined for by the FAA, or other aspects is not clear...
