Speaking as someone who KNOWS...

"This info is not exaggerated.

There was a change proposal sent out by schedule planning and it didn't make good reading.
From my sources, scheduling are looking at cancelling a large number of flights for a few weeks in March.
The "grounding" is to fix some problems so that the A and C checks are completed correctly (unlike Gamco)."

This IS exaggerated, and factually incorrect. The current maint. organisation finds a structural corrosion problem, an immediate fleet check identifies it as a wider fleet issue. The decision is taken to rectify the problem urgently (unfortunately, repairing aircraft usually is most convenient when they are on the ground!). The repairs commence, and naturally take some time and have operational impact. Can someone please tell me how they think that this is action is somehow a bad thing? This has nothing, nil, nada to do with A or C Checks tasks not being completed correctly FFS.

Bloody uninformed speculative rumours annoy me frankly.
