Gitmo is not used as a metaphor for...
"Sing Sing," "San Quentin," Folsom Prison," and "Leavenworth,"
it is a metaphor for double standards.
So it is fine for foreigners to break laws in Africa, enough of the respondents here see no problem with that, but the "US Govt" (thanks for the correction) hardly maintains that flexibility for a transgressor of their airspace. So what is that if not a double standard?
But DI3G, continuing on the theme of double standards...
your post:
Spradling Oil Company LLC...based in Borger, Tx...Google it under "N273MG"...
shows you do have concern about fraud in aviation, but only in USA? Now I'm the confused one.
Re B727's you might add a lot of other types such as HS125, LR, G-159 that have very questionable activities going on. You might even add additional B737's out of Peru...
Did the B737 crash? No. Cold comfort for the family of the deceased in the Pacific NW where their father/mother and siblings died from being given bogus components. Same for the people who died in Africa from other B/S component failures.
Not a problem? it's just africa? OK, what about the PC-12 now US registered with B/S repairs? or the now US registered BE-200 with major repairs carried out by these clowns, brought to your neighborhood by indifference to foreign laws, and US laws. And the components from the B737 and B727's operated illegally/unauthorised/unapproved maintenance, potentially contaminating the spares system of... US operators as well as foreigners.
The post is on Double Standards, how is that not relevant to professional individuals in the industry? For the Mods... the threads negative complaints are not from African nationals... those people who to paraphrase prior responses apparently are only entitled to continuation of the double standards , "any operation that the airline can use the aircraft again..." Is that a US passengers expectation as well?
The number of people who are prepared to defend malfeasance continues to reinforce my concern for the industry.
cheers
