Sounds like more sour grapes from $75/hr mechanics at Northwest that are
walking instead of working--though stranger things have been true.

Someone sent me an article (USAToday) saying that non-FAA certified
mechanics
were working on airliners and that even the inspectors were not
certified.  
The article says that it is common practice for non-FAA approved
maintenance
personnel to do all of the maintenance and that the inspectors signing
off the
work may or may not be at the location.   The inspectors have been
approving
the work after the plane has flown.

Any info or comments?

When a GA aircraft has to have a 337 to move a clock from one side of
the
instrument panel to the other and an airliner carrying hundreds of
passengers
doesn't even need an FAA certified mechanic to work on it, somethings
wrong with
this picture.
