Mechanical failure just happens?
I agree that you can be very unlucky but there is always a reason behind a mechanical failure. Whether it be from manufacture, overhaul, maintenance or the operating conditions. I think it would be better for an operator to look for reasons as to why these failures happen than to simply dismiss the fact that there may be a problem that he can rectify. I have no axe to grind with this operator and I understand that he could well of been taken out of context by this journalist. Thoughts?
