According to the FAA, airlines must conduct a general visual inspection and if needed replace oxygen generators with new or serviceable oxygen generators, strap thermal pads and reposition impacted oxygen generators.The 'airworthiness directive,' industry parlance for a legally enforceable regulation, is the latest blow for Boeing after the company accepted a guilty plea in what many have termed a 'sweetheart deal' with the Department of Justice early on Monday.
