Boeing jet loses parts of the wing in flight!

SiliconWizard:
To be "fair", when you have worked in a company in a heavily-regulated field, it's pretty rare if you haven't witnessed at least once some disturbing shortcuts and sweeping stuff under the carpet.
What you'll do when that happens is entirely up to you, but if you start opening your mouth, even just inside the company's walls, you are likely to become a target. :-X

   "A little flap damage, not getting worse...WING is OK.".       And the plane takes off, on next leg of journey.   

   Not good, obviously, but that kind of moronic state of relaxation does happen, shockingly.

FYI the only Latvian airline is state owned Airbaltic (EDIT: if you wonder why only one, Latvian population is <2 million). Airbaltic never had a crash in its 25 year history. It has the Europe’s second youngest fleet of 47 all-Airbus A220-300 that is one the safest aircraft that had zero accidents. My former colleague is a pilot at Airbaltic, he was first studying here and then more than a year in Florida, US, financed by the company.

Found dead in his truck in parking lot of a hotel he stayed at. With a hole in his head and a gun in his hand. He was going to testify that day. People who knew him say that he said if he's found dead, it's not suicide.
