| A Jet Blue airplane had landing gear problems.
It landed just fine.
Who cares?
I would care if I were on that flight, but that's such a small portion
of the population that it's barely worth a mention.
Did anyone care when my plane was delayed last month because there
wasn't an ashtray in one of the seats?
That's right - even though smoking has been prohibited for at least a
decade, they were not allowed to take off because there was a single
seat that was missing an ashtray.

We go AOG for stupid shit all the time. AOG means the plane was
grounded because an out-of-stock part is needed to complete the required
maintainance. Couple months ago we went AOG for a reading light.
That's right, they grounded a plane because one of the seats' reading
light was burned out. They've also grounded planes because a seat's
reclining mechanism was broken, or the lavatory's "don't throw objects
in toilet" sticker was worn and unreadable and we didn't have a
replacement. Or how 'bout grounding a plane for a missing life vest
when none of our flights go over water?
You'd be surprised how anal the FAA can be about that sort of thing.
