Airplane passenger's photo shows worker 'duct taping the plane'

[Wallace's]

Hmm, they say you can know how a restaraunts a kitchen is maintained by looking in their restrooms.

Does that same advice follow here? -> You can know how well an airplane is maintained by how much duct tape they use for "body work"?

Yet another reason not get on an airplane!

I'd be more concerned with what looks to be FOD in the intake...using the intake as a shelf is never a good idea.

I was on an air Mexico flight once and seen a guy smacking the engine with a broom handle and hollering to the pilot to "Try it now"

Looks like aluminum tape. Not sure why he's putting it there though.

According to the airline, he was putting it there for cosmetic reasons only. So it was just for looks.

So I guess they were out of the "Power of Pride" bumper stickers?

I've seen quite a few of those around town holding pieces of people's bumpers together. They seem to be a great choice for that purpose.
