The degradation of Jimmie Rainwood

I rediscovered this flick the other day and allthough it's a good and entertaining story, there's something deeply annoying about the whole set up.

In the opening scene, Rainwood is depicted as someone who is an walking encyclopedia in termes of airplane maintenance. Everywhere he turns up, he undisputedly outrank each and everyone of his staff. He is somekind of a god. He's got his fingers in every "pot of jam"...

It's like watching "Overhaulin'", where automobile designer Chip Foose is repeatedly talked about as the genious. The man with the magic hands. Extremely annoying and just an example of people's old habit of sucking up for the boss.

Back to Jimmie Rainwood.
If he was that indispensable in the first place, were the hell is the company when he's prosecuted and imprisoned? Doesn't he got any credibility att all when *beep* hits the fan? Is he just reduced to a simple drugdealer and persona non grata from the company's point of wiew? Kate have to fight alone. Without the help from Virgil Cane, she wouldn't have made it.

Aren't there any Safey net at all?

Hello!!?

Then there's a few irritating plotholes aswell....
