Chugalug2, agreed however, to get back on track and on just as serious a note is it really true that aircraft availability is actually falling due to lean etc? Is Robbing, or should that be canibalisation, now endemic due to a lack of even basic spares? Is the huge numbers of engineers recently made redundant not having a positive effect on ac availability as it was stated it would? Time between maintenance increases surely means more jets for the two winged master race to play with and not more knackered jets grounded due to lack of spares and experienced engineers to fix them? Discuss!
