Could happen this way..

Owner: Manufacturers fault!

Manufacturer: *points to Federal Automobile Administation*

FAA Model: Owner just got put in jail via it's belt and suspenders for GROSS NEGLIGENCE.

But that's after 5 years of litigation and investigation. And all Auto Mechanics have to have minimum 3 years experience at 3/hr before they can even sign off a tire change. AND they have to take a government test on top of their licensing test to prove that they can change a tire. Again.

Welcome to Government Oversight.. Aviation style.

Owner = Airline

Belt and Suspenders = Executives and Head Mechanics
