Thrust Reversers are useful, but rarely vital. They have numerous safety / indication systems to avoid the odd accident caused by a Thrust Reverser. Any unservicability with these systems - and surely it is far better to just lock the system out, and await a timely analysis engineering solution?
Since when is TEN DAYS 'timely' ? Seriously what excuse can there be for that other than saving a few pence ? Especially considering how they can be so deadly.
