Hubo sesiones en Congreso donde tuvo que dar explicaciones el Administrador de la FAA<a href="http://www.faa.gov/news/fact_sheets/news_story.cfm?newsId=10198" target="_blank">Fact Sheet &ndash; FAA Aviation Safety Action Plan</a>Basicamente:"On March 6, the FAA proposed a $10.2 million civil penalty against Southwest Airlines for operating 46 airplanes without performing mandatory inspections for fuselage fatigue cracking. Subsequently, the airline found that six of the 46 airplanes had fatigue cracks. Specifically:-     The FAA alleges that Southwest Airlines operated 46 Boeing 737 airplanes on 59,791 flights from June 18, 2006 to March 14, 2007 while failing to comply with a September 8, 2004 FAA AD that required repetitive inspections of certain fuselage areas to detect fatigue cracking.-     The September 8, 2004 FAA AD (2004-18-06) mandated repetitive external detailed and eddy-current inspections at intervals of no more than 4,500 flight cycles to detect fatigue cracking in areas of the fuselage skin on some Boeing 737 models. -     The FAA alleges that after Southwest Airlines discovered that it had failed to accomplish the required repetitive inspections, between March 15, 2007 and March 23, 2007, it continued to operate those same 46 airplanes on an additional 1,451 flights. The amount of the civil penalty reflects the serious nature of those deliberate violations."</blockquote>
