"adding that if presented to a grand jury, the evidence would result in an indictment." - OK - so WHY, exactly, is this evidence NOT being presented to a grand jury? Does NO ONE on the public payroll do their damn jobs anymore? Is EVERYONE in a government job corrupt? Please, someone in the justice department step forward and NAIL these as*holes.

Good for the FAA whistleblowers!
Having been an inspector for many years, it is critical that all inspections are performed to the requirements. Safety and quality control must go hand in hand! There are no shortcuts nor costs cutting when it comes to inspection of parts on an aircraft after so many hours in flight!
Thanks TechExpert!
