You are aware that by FAA rules, a pilot can fly an aircraft fro A to B,
let another pilot fly it from B to C and back, and the fly it from B to D
and the flights from A to B and B to D are in a perfectly airworthy
aircraft while for the flights from B to C and back the aircraft was not
airworthy? (At no time was the aircraft inspected by a mechanic nor any
mechanical changes made to the aircraft from the departure at A to the
arrival at D.)

Yep. I am also aware that this is hardly news to airlines that have
been paying attention. My only comment was that this was hardly a gotcha
moment for the airlines.
