Chautauqua has INS in their 145s???
INS in the 145...
I think the FAA is equally to blame...how did the FSDO or inspector sign off on the airplanes...or with the CRJ it kind of seems like the FAA approved a MX program, then went back and said our bad you needed to do an inspection that you didn't know about and we signed off on your program but here is a big fine anyway.
...you needed to do an inspection that you didn't know about...
It wasn't the actual maintenance program that was at fault. It was the carrier's management of that program. The FAA can do a lot of things, but telling a carrier how to manage their company or programs are not some of them.
So Chautauqua doesn't know about Airworthiness Directives that are issued for their fleets?
If the company wants to poop, they have to run it by the FAA.
The FAA's job as far as a 121 carrier is concerned is to approve how the company manages a maintenance program and to approve the way the program is run (among other things).
The same way SWA and AA didn't know about the AD's...the FAA guy managing the Company-FAA maintenance program signed off on them.
