Spirit Flight 165: Uncontained Engine Failure

Spirit grounded a bunch of planes last night for inspections.

A spokeswoman for the Mirimar based airline apologized but said that the inspections were necessary.

“Following the engine failure on one of our aircraft last week, and after reviewing routine maintenance procedures, we are completing a proactive and voluntary check on our aircraft engines overnight as a precautionary measure,” Misty Pinson said in an email to the Miami Herald.

Good on them for doing that. That's safety management in action and shows a company that cares more for safety than revenue.
