Umthengisi unqunyanyisiwe ngaphezulu kweendawo ezingagunyaziswanga kwiijets ezingama-82

I-Southwest Airlines Co., eyona nkampani inexabiso eliphantsi, yanqumamisa umthengisi wolondolozo olunxulunyaniswa nokusetyenziswa kweendawo ezingagunyaziswanga kwinqwelomoya ye-82 Boeing Co. 737.

Inkampani yeenqwelomoya kunye neFederal Aviation Administration ayiphumelelanga ukufikelela kwisivumelwano malunga nokusombulula lo mba namhlanje, utshilo uBeth Harbin, isithethi saseDallas-based Southwest. ULynn Lunsford, isithethi se-FAA, uthe i-arhente ilindele ukuba nesivumelwano ngomhla wokugqibela wentsimbi yesihlanu ngokuhlwa eDallas.

Ngelixa i-airline, i-FAA kunye ne-Boeing zithe iindawo azibonakalisi umngcipheko wokhuseleko, imimiselo yase-US iyakwalela ukuba iinqwelomoya zihanjiswe ngeeqhekeza ezenziwe ngaphandle kwesiqinisekiso somanyano. Amacandelo asenokuba ayekwinqwelomoya ixesha elide kangangeminyaka emithathu, ngokutsho kweSouthwest.

"Baye, nangona benokuthi ngokungazi, baphule imimiselo ngokusebenzisa iindawo ezingagunyaziswanga," uJon Ash, umongameli wefemu yokubonisana i-InterVistas-GA2 eWashington, uthe kudliwanondlebe. “Ekupheleni kosuku, ndiyarhana ukuba baza kufumana isohlwayo. Kunikwe oko. ”

ULunsford uthe “uMzantsi-ntshona uthe ngalo lonke ixesha ufuna ukukwazi ukutshintsha la malungu ngelixa uqhubeka nokubhabha iinqwelomoya. Sisebenzela ukubona ukuba ikho na indlela yokwenza oko kwaye siyenze ngokwemigaqo. ”

I-FAA ngaphambili yavumela uMzantsi-ntshona ukuba uqhubeke nokusebenza okwethutyana iinqwelomoya, ngelixa amacala amabini aqala iintetho ngo-Agasti 22 kwishedyuli kunye nendlela yokutshintsha iindawo. Umzantsi-ntshona sele wenze utshintsho kwiijethi ezingama-30.

'Ndisenethemba'

"Sisenethemba lokuba i-FAA iza kuvuma ukuba sicebise ixesha elinobundlobongela lokujongana nokungathotyelwa kwemithetho ngendlela ekhuselekileyo," utshilo uHarbin.

Ngaphandle kwesivumelwano kunye ne-FAA, nayiphi na ijethi yaseMazantsi-ntshona ebhabha kunye neendawo ezingagunyaziswanga iya kwaphula umyalelo womanyano kwaye inqwelomoya inokujongana nesohlwayo esingange-25,000 yeedola ngenqwelomoya, utshilo uLunsford kwangoko namhlanje.

Ingxaki yafunyanwa ngo-Agasti 21, emva kokuba umhloli we-FAA wokuhlola umsebenzi kwi-subcontractor yokugcinwa kwe-Southwest wafumana izitenxo kwiimpepha kwezinye iindawo. Umhloli wagqiba ukuba ikontrakta engaphantsi yenza ukufakwa kweehenjisi kwisixokelelwano esisusa umoya oshushu kude namaflawu angasemva kwamaphiko xa sandisiwe, umsebenzi ebengagunyaziswanga yi-FAA ukuba wenziwe.

I-Southwest yamisa iiNkonzo ze-D-Velco Aviation yasePhoenix, inkampani eqeshe i-subcontractor, njengomnye wabathengisi bayo bokulondolozwa, uHarbin uthe. I-subcontractor eyenze izifakelo ayichazwanga igama. Ezi nqwelo-moya zingama-82 zimela i-15 ekhulwini leenqwelo-moya eziziijethi ezingama-544 kuMzantsi-ntshona.

Phambili Phambili

Olu phando lujolise ngakumbi kwinqwelomoya eMazantsi-ntshona. I-airline ngo-Matshi yavuma ukuhlawula i-7.5 yezigidi zesohlwayo, esona sohlwayo sikhulu esiqokelelwe yi-FAA, kwiijethi ezibhabhayo ngaphandle kokuhlolwa kwe-fuselage kwi-2006 kunye ne-2007. ukuhla ngokukhawuleza.

I-AMR Corp.'s American Airlines yacoca iinqwelomoya ezingama-3,300 kwaye yabashiya abakhweli abangama-360,000 kulo nyaka uphelileyo emva kokuba i-FAA ifune ukuhlolwa kweengcingo kunye nokulungiswa kwiiBoeing MD-300s ezingama-80. I-American yamisa phantse isiqingatha seenqwelo zayo emva kokuba i-FAA ifumanise ukuba inkampani yeenqwelomoya ayizikhuselanga iinyanda zeentambo ngokomyalelo wearhente.

Emazantsi-ntshona, "ukhuseleko lwamacandelo ayisiyiyo ingxaki," utshilo uHarbin. "Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kukuba akukho mthetho umiselweyo wokulungisa imeko apho uneendawo ezikhuselekileyo, ezithathwa njengomenzi wenqwelomoya, ekufuneka zisuswe kwaye zitshintshwe."

Ngenxa yokuba iinxalenye aziyongozi kukhuseleko lwenqwelomoya, i-FAA mhlawumbi iya kunika inkampani "ixesha elifanelekileyo" lokubuyisela iindawo ezingagunyaziswanga, utshilo uAsh. Umba wamva nje akufanele uphakamise i-alamu malunga nokhuseleko lwaseMzantsi-ntshona, wathi. Ngeenqwelo-moya ezingama-544, iziganeko ezinjalo ziya kwenzeka “ngamaxesha ngamaxesha,” utshilo uAsh.

I-FAA inokugqiba ekubeni iindawo kufuneka zitshintshwe ngokukhawuleza okanye zingahlala zisetyenziswa de kube yishedyuli eqhelekileyo yokutshintshwa, utshilo uLunsford. Kuselithuba ukutsho ukuba uMzantsi-ntshona unokujongana nezohlwayo ngaphezulu kwamacandelo, utshilo.
