However throw into the equation poor overseas third world maintenance, bogus OEM parts for aircraft airframes and engines and the FAA complete lack of proper oversite and we have questionable safety!Rich Wyeroski Normally I would agree that our airliners are safe.

My question-----need we be really concerned re;ETOPS when the stats show B777 to be just about the safest and most reliable plane in the skies? Take your point, but as I understand it ETOPS now out to 330 suggesting that a "return" is unnecessary? Of course if the other one goes out........!! Wow Richard, that’s interesting stuff!

I have been a watch dog for almost 10 years now, after losing my FAA job to cronyism and corruption by FAA management. It is the money and there are FAA people, we call them “MINIONS” who lie cheat and steal for their pitiful jobs.

FAA management has been in Airbus’s pocket for years. I only hope some day their offshore bank accounts get exposed and they go to jail where they belong!

Until then, it is going to take an increase in the accident rate for the whole mess to be exposed.

The organization I belong to, THE FAA WHISLEBLOWERS ALLIANCE, is ready in the wings to expose these slimes when the time comes.

Unfortunately we are seeing everyday through dedicated sites like Kenneth’s the “routine” emergency returns of numerous airline’s because of poor maintenance and the Failure of the FAA to protect the public.

The problems are systemic and have been exposed by such recent publications like, ATTENTION ALL PASSENGERS, by William McGee.

Until then hopeful something will change? but usually major crashes bring the attention to the problems and the government reacts and goes into Public Relations cover-up!
