Thanks Turbo. I’m not advocating inspection before further flight; just inspect all 737s, oldest first.
It’s ludicrous for CASA and Qantas to insist there’s no risk below an arbitrary threshold. We simply don’t know; because 737 is only significant airliner that's never been properly fatigue tested. Except with passengers on board.
According to AD it only costs $170 to check for cracks. Just do it, instead of prattling about safety being paramount.
