Is the problem fixed.???
Yes! the affected a/c were pulled back, the work redone and recertified.
"if you think CAA is bad wait till you have EASA in full control"
...and that's not all. You now have the manufacturers vying with each other with "our aircraft need less maintenance than your aircraft" which has led to an increase in the times between checks and less maintenance done on those checks, daily checks now required every third day for instance.
So mr. sunfish you'll soon be able to add every Boeing and Airbus along with anything maintained under the auspices of EASA and the FAA to your permanent 'no fly' list
So that leaves.....er..........um
