Yeah...I just read the article linked in the other thread that just started (and that will hopefully soon be merged).

The Allied Pilots Association said the Federal Aviation Administration randomly inspected 10 MD-80s on Monday to make sure the jets had been properly inspected and modified. Of the 10, nine did not pass the audit, the union said.
With a 90% failure rate these guys did worse than the TSA, which I didn't think was possible!
