You are aware that by FAA rules, a pilot can fly an aircraft fro A to

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.


I believe there is blame on both sides (airline, FAA), as the Forbes
article pointed out.
