Another successful round trip....angry mechanics or not ....the bottom line is the newer equipment requires so much less intervention by humans than previous generation technology.
remember the old days when we had to "warm up" tv's and stereos? replace tubes every couple of hundred hours to keep a tv working?
aircraft have followed the same reliability curve, require much less intervention between scheduled maintenance periods and those maintenance periods are further and further apart.
how many of us still change our motor oil at 3k miles, plugs caps and rotor at 12k miles?
some of the SW aircraft were pulled from service for defective tray tables....union slow downs are a counter productive tactic have no place in modern aviation...if Boeing and or CFM certify and approve offshore maintenance who are we to second guess? ...my 2 cents on the topic
