not surprised at all vc. have a look at how long cargo hold problems have been written up when you're at dispatch next...nearly every one of those a320's have something regarding the holds...seals broken, floor boards missing, etc etc. they don't fix these relatively simple issues which eventually become as hazardous as the arse end falling out of them. it's the entire story of how these aircrafts are being looked after...a lot of small items which end up being the catalyst of far bigger problems!!
