bad taste plain & simple. are you implying that airbus would conciously put pax at risk to save remanufacturing a part? idiot.
The implication was your interpretation, not mine. I would not suggest that anyone made a conscious decision to risk pax lives. I am suggesting their is a paucity of reliable knowledge related to repairing manufacturing defects in load bearing composite structures. If the decision to repair rather than replace was unrelated to costs, then it most certainly should have been replaced?
I'm not saying Airbus did this either, but there are precedents where large corporations - US automobile manufacturers have been caught out here - have made safety based decisions based purely upon cost.
You don't need to look any further than this Forum to find that supposition put forward as it relates to Airbus and its sub contracting process.
