WN fined for safety violations
http://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/s...3/daily80.html
"Southwest Airlines defended its safety and maintenance procedures Thursday after the Federal Aviation Administration announced a $10.2 million fine against Dallas-based carrier for flying uninspected airplanes.
SWA flew 42 planes that had missed FAA inspections, according to the federal agency. The FAA said it was levying the fines over that issue and because six of the SWA planes had some fatigue cracking."
