05/20/2009: "Airline mechanics who can't read English"
News 8 has recently revealed serious flaws in the way the FAA licenses mechanics who fix planes.
There is evidence of years of problems in testing these mechanics. There is also evidence that hundreds of mechanics with questionable licenses are working on aircraft in Texas.
Now there is evidence of repair facilities hiring low-wage mechanics who can't read English.
If mechanics don't speak English, the international language of aviation, they can't read the manual and they can't record their activities.
[ It wouldn't surprise me if these are illegal immigrants who are illiterate even in their native language. ]
