Discount Flight Anyone?

This is unbelievable. It's no wonder I don't fly anymore. I blamed TSA, but this...

ST. LOUIS (UPI) -- Aircraft overhaulers in Kansas City say an American Airlines Boeing 767 that came in for servicing in April was infested with mice. KSDK-TV in St. Louis said a longtime employee at the overhaul base at Kansas City International Airport contacted the TV station about the problem. "We had to take the chairs off and that's when everybody saw mice running around on the floor and one ran down one of the mechanic's arm," the employee said. The whistleblower said workers found nests in air vents and dead mice in emergency oxygen masks. The mice ate insulation and chewed through wires, he alleged. "If they shorted themselves and caused a fire, it would go through that cabin so fast, we could have lost some lives," he told KSDK. The TV station said exterminators estimated that anywhere from 900 to 1,000 mice could be on the aircraft. American Airlines disputes that number, saying it found only 17 live mice. The Federal Aviation Administration says all insulation and oxygen masks on the plane have been replaced, the cargo bins have been removed and replaced and the wiring has been inspected.
