It would, I don't think any aircraft mechanic believes the air liners are maintained enough. I suspect that if they served in the Air Force first, they'd be horrified by the diminished frequency of maintenance in the air line world. I could be completely off though, an Air Force vet would need to comment.
In the private transportation world the rules are strict as can be. I assume the same for commercial. The engines manufacturer is VERY picky about who does maintenance on the engines. Engine maintenance is normally highly tracked and highly maintained. If an engine is not operating 100% the company is wasting money and is risking a catastrophic failure.
Thanks for your input. I've only noted some pretty shabby airline cabins that make me hope they pay more attention to the working bits than where we sit. lol
When we jumped 130's and 141's we sat in cargo nets and liked it, but always trusted those planes.
They will defer or MMEL seats and stuff if they can still fly on time. You can look at the FAA website for the MEL for any plane.
Here is the MMEL for the fastest business jet ever produced the Citation X. If it isn't in the book implicitly you can't defer maintenance. You will see what is allowed per chapter.
Complete overhaul maintenance on aircraft for some U.S. airlines is farmed out to foreign countries. Cheaper labor and questionable licensed mechanics.

I'd be interested to see what the plane's cargo was.
