A red herring? Perhaps I didn't explain myself clearly, I'm refering to the mechanics of the aircraft: the FADEC, flight controls, engines, flight instruments. These have remained unchanged since Day One, apart from Block 1 upgrade to FADEC. That is my point.
The Release to Service is just a bit of paper that limits the use of the aircraft by aircrew. The full RTS still includes many Service Deviations which I believe you refer to as ROS/MOS.
I don't understand how the Mk 3 grounded itself?
I have to say, this is the first time I've heard Jon and Rick referred to as criminals.
