Mick, TD,
Are you suggesting that we risk another catestrophic event just because we have not put new seals onto the aircraft or changed the hot pipes?
If the existance of 25 year old seals makes the jet unsafe, I suggest that none of us flies on any old aircraft supplied by EATON Aerospace. There are hundreds out there. They too are not ALARP, apparently.
The hot pipes are not now hot.
You were misled by Hickman's poor evidence. He doesn't know his ALARP from his SCP elbow.
