Boy the rumour network is really in full swing.
The aircraft are grounded pending an inspection, if the results are negative we could have a few back in the next week.
What is happening is that as the aircraft get rotated up to Dublin where our heavy maintenance is being done by SR Techics, they are discovering a few problems. 3 of the 4 aircraft they've seen up there have had some rather sever corrosion issues. The first aircraft is pretty near finished being repaired sheetmetal wise, it's been there since November. Since they are finding similar corrosion on several of the fleet they've decided in coordination with Boeing to inspect the whole fleet for similar corrosion, and have grounded the fleet of 9 aircraft until teh inspections are carried out.
This will take a bit as it will involve NDT (likely xray/eddycurrent inspections for min thickness etc).
To make matters a bit worse they've found a cracked landing gear on one of the a/c during the C checks as well, so now need to do some swaps.
Anyway the way things work around here it could take a week or a year to sort it out. No news at all from management other than a note from rostering about pending changes to the schedule. In the meantime it'll suck losing the duty pay, but as long as the main paychecks keep coming sit back and enjoy the BBQ weather and cold beers.
Either way they are going to get hurt on this one and its going to cost someone alot of Dinars to sort it out.
