The Facts!
- The Roo's Heavy Maint H245 B744 'D Checks' completed in 36 Days
- Only maint provider with nil, read NO, test flight requirement
- Straight out of the shed to the eng run up bays, then off to LAX with full pax load
- Exit maint delays, virtually nil
- The 'MoU' MRO SE Asia, Heavy Maint B744 'D Checks' scheduled 55 Days
- 27 'D Checks' back to back' before an on time exit achieved, then back to business as usual
- Test flight requirement mandatory, wonder why?
- The record of failed test flights, on one aircraft prior return to service, 5.
Average out of service time, 62.5 days.
Management have acknowledged closing H245 was a grave mistake, that could not be reversed. On the grounds of both cost and most importantly quality.
