Before anyone gets on their high horse, l know these things happen to every type of aircraft flying, but its not going help with public confidence in this aircraft.
The whole US Air BAe146 fleet was retired to Mojave for a couple of years from 1991, before being progressively reinstated to a range of secondary and start-up European operators, out of London City and elsewhere. Although doubtless checked over, they all brought a considerable range of oddball tech niggles with them that lasted for quite some time until everything that had deteriorated was replaced. Sort of compensated by the low purchase price for them, which of course doesn't apply to those bringing the Max back.
