Continental Airlines has paid the government $402,000 for violations involving maintenance practices, training and record keeping, the Federal Aviation Administration said. FAA spokesman Bob Buckhorn said the carrier had sent the money “in full settlement of enforcement actions associated with violations of FAA regulations.” Continental, in settling the issue, said that “safety was never compromised by any of the alleged violations, most of which involve record keeping, oversights and similar technical infringements.”
