satos... I am afraid you miss the point... Having crashed into the wall, do they now reuse the CF tub? How do they view? assess? repair? the damage, and then certify? the repaired tub?

This is the real worry. Look around on "old" airliner, typically 10+ significant and visible patches rivetted on. Who knows how many unseen or repeated patches have been done....
