    People should have been jailed after Alaska Airlines Flight 26, but of
    course, no one was.

    261?
    Same as no Boeing people jailed for the 737 Max debacle.
    Maybe its too difficult to identify the individuals responsible and or
    Nth American laws don't make CEO's or other senior management accountable?

    Are you accessing Amazon through a VPN? I just get re-directed to
    Australian Amazon and it doesn't appear to be available there.

    No, I had an amazon account before they started
    here and refuse to change it to a .au account.

    Correct, I forgot to mention that.

    Got it in the end. Thanks.

    I can't think of any situation where anyone has ever been
    jailed as a result of fucking up on aircraft maintenance.

    I'm not in favour of jailing people for making mistakes. Doing so would probably have the paradoxical effect of discouraging the most able from
    doing the job, because they'd be most aware of how things can go wrong.

    But some of the practices at Alaska Airlines certainly bordered on
    criminal negligence. Maybe there was no way to tie that to the specific
    crash. Though reversing the mechanic's decision to replace the
    jack-screw was clearly highly questionable.

    Sylvia.
