The FAA has known about the problems for a long time but looked the other way.
After National shutdown the Vegas FSDO had a major coup getting AAY from the FAT FSDO. The issues have been apparent from day one. MG has long history in the airline biz and everyone knows his time at Valu. I do not blame any of the crews but AAY should have been shutdown years ago. There are no excuses by management or the FAA why this CONTINUES to happen.
It does seem an accident with loss of life is almost imminent. The lawsuits will be huge. How will they explain there way out of it. If anyone flies on AAY you must be crazy.
