Well, it has a hydraulic problem that needs the aircraft to be jacked for gear swings. Qantas don’t have those jacks they had to bring them from Air New Zealand. I’m told it needed a lot of complete gear cycles however they are limited in the number that can be completed each day. It’s been on the ground since the 9.12.19 causing daily cancellations.
Engineer in Melbourne today said that's it up to 100 gear retract cycles and still the message remains...Boeing Tech reps are now on the scene...nothing to see here, move along...
