I appreciate that it isn't your every-day AOG, but I've known whole undercarriage legs get replaced and even a heavily corroded wing spar repaired quicker than this.
its taking a huge length of time to get repaired due to the fact its a huge repair, you have clearly, not a clue of whats entailed in a job of this kind ,replacing a l/g leg is nothing compared to this, and indeed the whole leg is out to give access, having seen myself the amount of work entailed im very impressed with the speed in which the airbus repair team are actually progressing what is a very big structural repair.
