Mechanic says he was fired for refusing to sign off on faulty jet
Bosses at charter-jet service Pro Pilots LLC didn’t want to hear mechanic Dennis Portalatin’s concerns about the nine-seat Dassault Falcon 20, which had eight “discrepancies,” including a leak in a wing and the fuselage, he charges in New Jersey federal court.

IF he had stamped off the 8 discrepancies he found and there was a problem during flight, he would be held responsible for he stamped it off. That is the problem, if you stamp off a known problem then you are responsible for the end results. When I worked on government aircraft I only stamped off the work I did.
Should have taken pictures of the problems.
If you are going to print a pic with the story, why not print one of a Falcon 20 instead of a 737 with the cowling open? Little things like that make me crazy, and are an indication of how much effort went into the story.
And what looks like a southwest airlines plane into a story about Pro Pilots LLC? If I was Southwest I'd be hopping mad...
This is bad PR for Southwest... not very nice.
