After some debate with our airline "partner", we finally got the go-ahead to do flights for the rest of the year. This is very good as we have 15+ flights already on the books for the next four months!
Basically they thought our modifictions were causing problems. After a careful, independant engineering analysis, however, it turned out that their own people were screwing things up. To 'solve' the problem we are putting on cute "touch this switch and DIE" placards for now and planning to add a pressure-relief valve later. Hopefully this will mean that even when the mechanics break all the rules and procedures they still can't do much harm.
We are fixing a system that isn't broken. But if it gets us flying--we'll do it!
Side note: I read today that SpaceX was modeling their operation after an airline. Please, please don't pick Amerijet as your model, Elon!!
Oh, and Jack taught me how to do cool animations in ImageReady so I can make pictures do funny things. This could be fun ;-)

The navy actualy has a engine fault code for "dropped", thats how often they drop engines, they even get special gear to carry them around. I can fully believe the mechs are breaking your plane
