   The fleet of the American airline Transair has been grounded. The FAA has   
   identified shortcomings at the company, which may have resulted in the   
   emergency landing that a Boeing 737 had to make at sea in early July.   
       
   On July 2, the crew of a Boeing 737-200 was forced to land in the sea due to   
   an engine failure that occurred shortly after departure from Honolulu. The two   
   pilots were rescued but were injured in the incident. The plane sank to the   
   seabed.   
       
   According to the FAA, Rhoades Aviation, the parent company of Transair, has   
   been under a magnifying glass for some time. There would be all kinds of   
   things wrong with the maintenance regime and safety culture at the company.   
       
   For the time being, Rhoades is no longer authorized to carry out maintenance   
   on its fleet, which means that it can no longer be flown. The company has   
   operated cargo flights between the various Hawaiian islands for more than   
   forty years.
