Frontier will get some bad press for this

I think you're biased, and because you're biased you've looked for and found some website that aligns with your opinions. Regardless of the subject matter you will more often than not call out any source that doesn't bolster your opinion regardless of whether or not the article cites sources that do align with your ideology. It doesn't mean you're stupid, it's typical in todays society, it means you're intentionally limiting the amount of info you allow yourself to consider. Democrats never change.

You may not realize it due to lack of self awareness, but the same could be said about you.

As a Flight Engineer I was both operations and maintenance at the same time. Let me tell you about the conflict of interest that generated. A good FE always kept a downer in his pocket in case we stopped at NAS Key West for fuel.

Haha smart. I guess that is tangentially related to "don't ever get gas somewhere you don't want to spend the night"

There is an amazing correlation between jets going AOG near the proximity of palm trees versus snowplows.
 
Any of you enjoy looking back through the logbook to see just how many times they've fired the parts cannon at a particular problem or aircraft?

How many of you giggle a bit writing up a part you know costs a double digit % of your yearly pay?

TBH the first thing I do after hearing about a squawk is look at the history, computerized MX systems and logs have greatly improved since when I was scribbling illegibly in a logbook. Often times there simply isn't enough space to describe every action accomplished to troubleshoot and repair an issue on the paper real estate provided in the flight log so you reference AMM procedures and P/N and S/N of any parts changed and the W/O # for a more detailed description of the work performed. I can recall a G200 that came in with a squawk about the lav leaking (blue juice stains and a puddle after landing). Pulled the lav interior and toilet looking for the leak, the inside of the airplane was pristine, remove the wing root fairings and find the fill line for the toilet ruptured from freezing at the fitting that passes through the pressure vessel. Because it's IAI there is no SRM so we have to get an engineering disposition to even legally repair it not to mention getting the little flanged elbow that tries to keep all of the air inside at altitude. We got it done and its been fine ever since (if you fly a private airplane with a lav in the winter watch the line guys disconnect the hoses and make sure they drain the lav and the potable water fill lines before they put the caps on the fill ports, trust me on this.). I can take up eight pages of your MX log describing how something got fixed, but to be honest you don't care. All you want or need to know 99.9999% of the time is if it's fixed and if it's signed off. As far as the cost of parts I've never worried, I've condemned 731 engines after a 5 point or gearbox pressure run and not had a second thought, I'd make a log entry in the engine log book saying it was not airworthy.
