United Airlines Will Be Scrutinized By FAA Following String Of Incidents

Those following aviation may recall that over the month of March, United Airlines experienced a string of incidents with their aircraft. One of the more notable incidents occurred on March 8, when one of their Boeing 777s took off from San Fransisco bound for Osaka, losing a tire in the process. Well, according to an internal memo, the airline tells its employees that they will begin to see more of an FAA presence at their operations as the government agency reviews some of its work processes, manuals, and facilities.

Cool, finally the FAA doing something

[@f_pie]

I know, they have been too busy being remote ID Karen

[@germanpoweractivated]

right....

[@fitycalibre7555]

Problem is that the FAA have absolutely no resources. So any oversight they provide will take forever and any findings will take forever to be published. It’s a real shame

[@GordonHakkar]

Breaking News! FAA is going to actually do their job.

[@FlyByWire1]

I’m confused by this comment. United did not previously have so many safety/maintenance incidents so why would the FAA need to pay extra close attention to them. The FAA was doing their job and their job did not include increased oversight of United because United didn’t need increased oversight.

[@savagecub]

With No Knowledge base or resources with which to do it !

[@existential_]

Headline: FAA announces doing their job

[@jobbiejew]

The regulators are going to make sure regulations are being met? Noooooo waaaaaay!

[@ronparrish6666]

United planes, Continental maintenance, People express Management

[@EuropeanRailfanAlt]

Most, if not all, of these United incidents happened on flights to/from SFO.

[@aviatortrevor]

That doesn’t tell us whether or not maintenance on all of these aircraft are tied to maintenance workers at the San Francisco location. Correlation doesn’t imply causation.

[@JsausageandbunEaterWithoniOn]

@@aviatortrevor True. Certainly worth investigating though

[@sylvesterchew]

Good to hear FAA is taking action. If resources not enough, can always outsource from France or Brazil !

[@delta_cosmic]

They managed to Unite all of the Boeing aircraft faults into one airline for this year.

[@EuropeanRailfanAlt]

And the year hasn't even ended yet... so there will be more coming soon.

[@ryanlittleton5615]

Half those incidents were Airbus...

[@eduardodaquiljr9637]

Check and investigate deeper to find out the real tune.

[@user-nv2wu8tz8g]

You forgot about the United 777 incident in Sydney, when there was smoke coming from the gear after takeoff and it had to return back to the airport.

[@ryanlittleton5615]

It was hydraulic fluid.

[@douglasthompson2740]

@@ryanlittleton5615 Yeah. And it was "departing the airplane"!!!

[@jantjarks7946]

From the outside it's impossible to be certain what actually happened. However, isn't it the very same maintenance hub for all incidents?

Trump signed two executive orders that required the FAA to do less oversight of the industry. Related???

took them long enough. someone else argued with me that since none of it was deadly its no big deal. yeah right, lets wait til it gets to catastrophic before doing something.

[@somapersona]

Oh great, my go to airline 🤣

[@bearabletable7527]

United should of merged with PAN AM . RIP to the Golden age of aviation

Intensive inspections by the FAA should have always been performed. It is time.

It seems to me that the first person who should have been fired over this was the vice president of corporate safety. They shouldn’t have kept their job long enough to send out that email.

Economic liberalism is synonymous with anarchy. The government must increase its presence in the economy to guarantee quality.

[@user-ey6ml6bm5x]

it's a dog and pony show

[@oxtinposs9451]

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like ever since airline have been pushing for diversity and made it easier to obtain jobs in the aviation field, more accidents have happened. Also, ever since the FAA has been pushing diversity for ATC, and made it easier to become on, near misses have skyrocketed.

[@osasunaitor]

Do you have data to back this claim? It would be interesting to know
