    Regular Inspections fix small issues before greater problems arise from them –> some economist with no technical knowledge or common sense goes: hurp de durp our inspections never fix any relevant defects. Better cut back on them to be more economic. –> surprisedPikachu.jpeg

      Well no. Those are the accountants. Economists have studied survivorship bias. It’s the MBAs and accountants looking to cut costs that do that stupid shit.

      Regular inspections are already mandate by the FAA, no economist, accountant or MBA has any say on it.
