Agreed about your statement as way back after WW11 the non sced as they were refered to bought old DC3,4 and C46 AC and started service with them. Very little was done other than enough to keep them flying. Same is happing now with Allegiant and others buying cheep used AC to operate. Its going to get worse as the FAA cant keep track of everything.
2ND BOEING ENGINE TO CATCH FIRE IN TWO MONTHS!!" - Aaagh! My wife will attest I was screaming at the TV when CBS news flashed this line this morning. Gotta love a good, accurate, news scare story. So, Boeing does not make engines. Las Vegas 777 was a GE engine on full take-off power. This 767 incident is a P&W engine on low taxi thrust if not idle...

Ouch. Plenty of damage to the wing....just think of all that fuel just about the fire and thank not only the Fire Dept's response but also the training of the flight crew to ensure everyone got out.
Yeah, I don't think she will take to the skies again. :(
A comment not about the incident, but about the nbcmiami.com web site.
Those interspersed (and completely unrelated) article links in that article made it nearly unreadable. One or two might be tolerable ... but a giant headline link every four lines of text?

No wonder something finally just let go. Lucky it was on the ground when it caught fire. You can be pretty sure Cheap-O-Air will not spend a dime towards getting this airplane back in service. Low cost carriers never do like thieves in the night.
