Will The FAA Start Stepping Up Here?

FAA - Federal Aviation Administration, the regulators for all commercial airlines ensuring their safety practice and compliance. However, over the weeks we've been hearing harrowing accounts from various domestic flights in US: (1) Starting with a Southwest airline aircraft roof coming off in midair, (2) With another aircraft (Southwest) breaking out burning smell in the cabin midway, (3) American Airlines flight 547 emergency landing after 4 passengers and 1 attendant suffered what was believed to be 'aerotoxic syndrome' caused by breathing in contaminated air, (4) A questionable Gulfstream jet qualified for a test flight which turn out disastrously killing all onboard, (5) And a United Airlines flight going blind on their final approach when the cockpit suddenly smoked out for no reason. I just hate to imagine what it would be like if fire broke out and the cockpit breaking off from the aircraft body. So much about safety assurances from the airlines and now we have various airlines grounding hundreds of their fleets and cancelling several of their flights. I hate to say this but I've always have been having this niggling thought at the back of my head about how airlines are thinning their margins with their price wars and that it is actually affecting them with their mandatory expensive maintenance. I know a lot of you may disagree with me but I believe these recent spate of incidents will tell you otherwise at how these aircraft been maintained - very poorly and I would not be surprised NEVER. I hope that the FAA field agents will step up their surveillance and checks to prevent anymore of these unnecessary disasters which can be catastrophic. Were anyone of you on any of these or similar unreported flights? Must be harrowing and relieved to be alive to tell, huh?
