    This will be fine. Everyone knows that cutting costs and corners to make a buck works, and airplane repair is a hugely expensive and time consuming process! There HAVE to be corners to cut! Why are you replacing that part? Just give it a spit shine and stick it back on, good as new! Does that thing move when it’s not supposed to? Slap some duct tape on there, it’ll be fine. Was it supposed to move and it doesn’t? An overhaul is so expensive, just hit it with WD-40 and you’re clear for takeoff! And hey, next time a plane crashes, get a couple of flatbeds out there ASAP and grab up all those free replacement parts scattered among the bodies!

    And here I am directly under the final approach path to our airport. It sounds like “blue ice” is soon to be the least of my air industry worries.
