I don't know. I'd want to be thorough if hitting a company with a big fine. We don't want to pay for more FAA employees, so maybe that's just how long it takes with the staff and workload. I'm sure lawyers had to review everything, too.

I read somewhere that many SWA aircraft are maintained outside the US. While I know the facilities are certified, why are they doing that? Seems that will all the fines and stuff, a big outfit like that would have their own facility and keep their eye on the ball. What am I missing here other than, maybe, money???
