Sorry if I caused any upset to engineers, not intended, they are professionals also ( and I vowed I'd never fly without a F/Eng.for instance - and never did, professionally ) I just want to fly the bloody things, not fix them ! but they would be less than honest if they didn't also admit that mistakes can happen when aircraft are pulled apart and put together again, and a lot of maintenance is fixing what wasn't 'broke' in the first place, decreed by legislation based on time in service.
Sorry chaps.
You didn't upset me, you were correct. There is always a possibility of errors creeping in during a large maintenance input such as a c-check. It's down to experience, planning and diligence of the engineers that this rarely happens.
Not read anywhere yet what this A320 was in maintenance for, was it just a series of hand back checks or something heavier?
I hope the investigation is able to prove what caused the accident to help us all avoid the same happening again.
