Just the opposite--look at the Alaska crash---mechanics wanted to fix the damaged part but "management-supervisory" over ruled them under pressure to keep the plane flying and making money. They took a chance to save a buck. I know its difficult to prove but this seems to be the case. Same with SR111 crash--appears faulty wiring put in by untrained personel to save some money is suspected of causing the accident. (I know---cant prove it and thats what the companys are counting on ) Dennis
