to have contributed to the corrosion in that case but, alex, every airline does extensive checks of its fleet looking for trouble spots along the skin of the airline, of the fuselage, i should say, looking for any signs of metal fatigue. two years ago southwest airlines was fined $7 million for operating planes that had missed those required safety inspections for cracks. that s a little frightening. so, tom, this particular plane about 15 years old, right? would it be normal to find these tears and how easy is it to repair them? reporter: they go through really inspections with a fine toothed comb looking for any signs at all of stress. they use ultrasound it technology to search aircrafts for any signs of that and this is a regular inspection. every plane in america and for that matter the world goes through. so once they find a potential problem it s relatively easy to fix it but what they don t want to have happen is what happened
cents there, 17 cents there. i m curious about the people complaining that led to this how they all knew? some people read bills with fine-toothed comb. they re probably like, what is this? but to be charged for accessing data programs when you don t have a data plan. i like how you use both of them. you took kiran s side on this thing you notice my body language. data sounds intelligent, data sounds like what i would normally say. better to sound intelligent than not. i ll either be if you re a verizon customer, massive refund coming your way, $2 to $6, october and november they ll give you this credit. if you re no longer a customer, make sure they have your correct address. are you going to come talk about your book later on? i am going to talk about my book later on. thank you for building momentum for the plug. we re very happy for you. yes, thank you.
all the nickels and dimes all the bills we don t know how to read or trust somebody else s measurement for, whether it s your electricity or natural gas. i recently got a correction on my electric bill and i said at the time of the estimated reading we overcharged you $41. and i was thinking, how would i have known? and if you did know and called them up and they d say, well, we took a reading. clearly there are some customers who did notice who spent more time with a fine-toothed comb and a magnify glass than i do on this bill. take a close hard look because you re going to get altogether, that could be up to $90 million. that s no small mistake. my dad is one of those guys who checks every bill for everything. but he always finds something. you have to ask yourself this, the amount of time i m spending on this, how much would you make an hour and how much time do you spend christine tweeted out whether people say data or data. and mostly everyone is saying data.
but certainly there s enough evidence that they ought to be looking at this and the fec, the federal election commission, has to start an investigation because we ve sent a complaint there. so sooner or later, people will be going through ms. o donnell s campaign finances with a fine-toothed comb and they ll find out how much she s been stealing. today she threatened to sue crew and i welcome such a suit. then we d be in we d get to go through her campaign finances. we would bring that out to the american people. melanie, you re an attorney. you got her dead in the water? dead in the water, ed. thanks for being with us tonight. up next, i refuse to give up on my mission to help the 99ers. nearly 40 million unemployed americans are not getting any help and they need it to survive.
