The 767 and 737s haven't caused these problems so soon after entering service. And this at a time where freight is booming and we need every aircraft we can get.
The 767 was a boeing built dedicated freighter & had only flown minimal hours when bought,there was a 2nd 1 on offer but that was turned down.
The 733's are all ex tn/qf converted pax aircraft so all history & records right there from day dot.
The 734( just like this 321) came along after a long career with many overseas airlines & what we are seeing is almost identical in the problems encountered after conversion due to its maintenance history at many overseas facilities.
Guess u get what u pay for.
