Ed,
Would it not be more accurate to say that, in terms of hot air ducts at least, the risk is currently ALARP because the risk from the old pipes is, as you say, tolerable, and it is neither reasonable nor practical to replace them all within a shorter time period than we are doing due to the 'down-time' and manpower that would require? Especially when we have to balance that against the need to keep aircraft available for operations.
Equally, by the middle of next year, will the risk not still be ALARP, because all the ducts will have been replaced, we will be at a lower risk state, and we will have reached that state in a time that was reasonable and practical given the resources and commitments we had?
Dave
