Well, we'll see. Notice that every congressman with a complaint about the situation has a "D" after his name...

Rep. James Oberstar, D-Minnesota
Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Oregon
Rep. Jerry Costello, D-Illinois

Don't Republicans want to protect us from reckless corporations? Maybe not -- and I really mean that.

Is Southwest airlines going to get in trouble? Well, if they are fined $10.2 million, that is something, but the article says "The FAA has shown a dangerous lack of enforcement, resulting in thousands of flights on potentially unsafe and un-airworthy aircraft." Maybe it only amounts to a penalty of $1000 per flight. Is that enough of a punishment?
