Sad to say, it's mainly the Brits, who simply could not make a quite good aeroplane conform to many of their outmoted/outdated ideas.
This is maintenance folks, especially.
UK pilots, on the other hand, quite liked the 'ole L1011, and its superb handling qualities.
The RAF is especially challanged, it appears, having these types in 'charge' of their aircraft servicing.
Outsourcing might be the answer...certainly it might tend to improve their dispatch reliability.
UL had, at one time, the highest daily utilisation of all TriStar operators...17 hours, and up.
I never had a tech delay in over five years there.
Zero, nada, none.
Good old fashioned maintenance, properly applied.
It certainly can be done, provided certain folks are kept firmly at arms length...
and not allowed to muck up the works.
