>>>When a jetliner crashes, do we ground every single jet of that series until the black box is recovered, an investigation is conducted,<<< As a point of reference, Memorial Day weekend 1979 I was just finishing college and flying around the country on job interviews. I was in Melbourne< fl on the front end and in Los Angeles on the back end. A DC-10 Americans Airlines jet crashed on takeoff in Chicago over the weekend. IT took me a long time to get home. The entire DC-10 fleet was grounded. It was an interesting case. As the jet lifted its nose after achieving speed on take off, the port engine tore off the wing and flew horizontally down the runway while the jet climbed to several hundred fleet on its remaining engine, rolled over to port and crashed. Everybody on board was killed. Tragic. It was fairly quickly discovered that there was significant damage to the port engine pylon. A faulty maintenance handling procedure was discovered which cracked the pylon and hence the crash. As I recall, the source was discovered pretty quickly, but for sure the whole fleet was grounded.
