It seems all to often these days, cost cuts, lazy workers etc… A maint. is suppose to be done at regular intervals on the flying ships ie checking EVERY nut and bolt, stress tests on certain parts, electrical tests and it just goes on and on, for the reason of SAFETY. Filing false maint. reports is so common in the private sector, it happens in the Military sometimes also. Some so called Airlines in so called developing nations flaunt these inspections to save time and money, they feel the need to keep these aircrafts in the air to bring in money at the coses of people lives… for example.. Thai airlines, Singapoer Airlines,Korea,S.A airlines,alot of Russian airlines,Mostly as I view them as 3rd world airlines are the most unsafe ones…

Now Europe is somewhat different, in the E.U. rules are rules and all member states must comply with all safety regulations, cost cutting is not an option. A little advice to those who travel to the E.U. when you get there, ONLY fly AIR BERLIN, the best track record in the E.U., they cover the whole continent, very safe,very friendly staff and you can be sure you will get to your destination safely… I have flowen all over the world several times over and this is Twotours pick of the BEST Airline to fly when there…
