Ryanair - Poor Maintanence
Searched the site for this story, but can't find it on here at all.
On 30th AUGUST 2005 the EXpress Newspaper ran a story about Ryanair and their poor maintanence. This came about after a regular flier noticed that the port wing of a 737 only had TWO(2) bolts in place. He took a picture of it while the plance was flying at 35,000 feet. The picture shows the top of the wing by the main body and clearly shows only TWO(2) bolts in place, where there should have been 8 ( I think it was eight anyway ). The passenger stated that the wing made a "Din" when it took off and was vibrating badly.
What caught my attention though was the Ryanair comment that " Checks with Boeing confirmed that the missing bolts posed no danger to the plane " and that " The bolts had now been replaced"
Now I am not a tech, but surly a wing missing most of it's bolts WOULD pose a danger. Are Ryanair correct or are they just trying to play down the incident.
