Cheap Labor, Plain Crashes and Whistle Blowers

Whistle blowers in the FAA have for sometime been complaining about plane unsafety conditions. They found evidence of repairman being hired that could not speak or read English, and could not read repair manuals (among other things). The whistle blowers complained that they were retaliated against by the FAA, a government agency, as the agency conceded to the wishes of the companies they were suppose to oversee. (IMF policy of "business friendly environment")
