All AMT's should read the transcript of the SabreTech Trial to gain a better understanding of the risk involved in touching an air transport category airplane.

Today marks the 10 anniversary of the tragic crash.
Seeing first hand the immediate and long term changes in the "post Valujet" FAA's oversight of Airlines I would like to open some dialog into what is thought of their(FAA) job.
One of the first changes required was the retrofitting of 3,483 airplanes with fire suppression and detection systems, at a total cost of $300 million.
The FAA also beefed up its hazardous-materials program, the agency now has 119 hazardous-materials inspectors, compared with 14 in 1996.
So have you seen changes in your workplace? _________________
