Interesting that this topic rears its head after a story in the papers - perhaps all maintenance errors should be in the public domain? it might encourage Management to take the issue a bit more seriously.
I see that BA Quality are getting very stressed over the increasing number of incidents and have now started meeting with the Engineers to get their views - ah well, only 15 years late.
Until management (I can only speak for BA) recognise that there is a systemic and structural problem of
their making I foresee more incidents occuring and very possibly the next time we have a 777 trying to do a 'Concorde' lives may well be lost.
