3. When someone outsources there maintenance to a third party to cut costs

then that landing says a lot about the character of the oversight of the process which it operates under, with the attitude of know nothing and I see nothing, just do it cheaply, for a profit.

He got that airline when Lorenzo needed to sell it, after Lorenzo screwed the employees at Eastern, to break the unions

They (pilots) could not release the nose gear when they did not get three green lights saying the gears were down and locked, they had two and one red one.
Trump is just like his former airline, full of SH*T. I find it inexcusable that when a plane takes off and lands that those gears should go down, and did not even in an emergency, there is handle in the cockpit to get them to free fall, it failed, just like the traitor.

As for the FAA, I don't know about you, but I don't like third party maintenance doing the work on airplanes, when there are men and woman in this country working for the airlines (in shop) that can do the job, I hope you realize that some firms such as Southwest and United and Delta, and America have worked being done on AC outside the country where people working on the aircraft don't have to be licensed, all they need is to have one person to be licensed and able to read and understand English, to sign off the log book, and the FAA is understaffed, because of Congress not funding the oversight and blaming the FAA as lacking in its duties, that is just BS, when they don't have enough inspectors "all around" to make sure that airplanes like that B-727-200 was being maintained.
