So SWA flies passengers with airworthy parts. SWA had Vinny's machine shop build heat shields instead of buying them from TSOed approved sources.
Now UAL uses rags instead of caps which are removed before flight and UAL never flies in an unairworthy condition but is fined for violating its own mx manual procedures which are so insignificant it doesn't matter.
The FAA and SWA are in bed together are both operate unsafe.
AINmx states, "The FAA proposes a $3.8 million civil penalty against United Airlines for allegedly operating one of its Boeing 737s on more than 200 flights in an unairworthy condition after the carrier had violated its own maintenance procedures. In April 2008, during teardown of the engine, United mechanics found that two shop towels, instead of required protective caps, had been used to cover openings in the oil sump area when maintenance was done the previous December. The company declined AIN’s request for an interview."
