America West Maintence

If these folks are to be believed the FAA has threatned to ground a number of America West Airlines A/C until it can be proved by America West Airlines that certain maintence has been accomplished on their A/C.
Aparrently America West Airlines cannot prove to the satisfaction of FAA that outside contractors/vendors have performed certain specified inspections/maintence on their A/C. Aparrently this dust up over maintence activities/practices at America West Airlines was the result of an FAA review of maintence activities at a number of airlines, one of which was America West Airlines, after the Alaska Air incident raised questions about general maintence practices at Pax Airlines in general.
Allegedly some flights have been cancled by America West Airlines because documentation of specified maintence having been performed on that particular A/C was not acceptable to FAA.
