Assembly Not Required
Apparently, these wonders of the modern age (i.e., airplanes) don't need all their parts to keep flying. From CBC's website:
An exterior panel on a Cathay Pacific jetliner came away from the fuselage and damaged other panels as the plane was descending into Vancouver International Airport early Tuesday morning, officials with the Transportation Safety Board say.
The panel that covered the air conditioning unit on the belly of the Boeing 747-400 came off and dented other non-structural panels on the plane, but had no detrimental effect on the flight of the aircraft, TSB inspector Bill Yearwood told the CBC.
So instead of laying off flight attendants to cover increased fuel costs why don't the airlines makes these planes more efficient and get rid of all of these non-essential parts?
