Here we go again. Last week it was American Airlines and Delta who canceled flights sighting lack of maintenance and inspection standards. Well today it is United Airlines who has grounded it's entire fleet of 52 Boeing 777. The net result so far today's, is UA's canceling of 28 flights. United is siting electrical problems and failure to make required checks of the planes' fire-suppression system.
The Federal Aviation Association (FAA) got tuff on all the airlines staring with giving Southwest Airline a 10.2 million dollar fine over missed inspections. United recently had two planes skid off run-ways and these were blamed on electrical problems. The busy summer travel season is not the time for Americans to start getting nervous about air safety. So you airlines better get it right and quickly. Bloomberg.com has there own take on this story check it out.
