Old Hand - You seem to have misread my posting. I was not having a go at the LAEs at FLS & yes they did bring in consultants regarding spares. This was when they were doing 747 section 41 majors. With long inputs you can purchase spares as required for defects but FLS have been pushing the PMO sales bit- a one stop shop. Unfortunately their purchasing department is not up to the job & many consumables have very long lead times, this blows the no spares idea out of the water, delays the check & frustrates everyone.
