Coincidentally, there are two post on "tech Log" about Boeing fuel pumps/wiring and B737 rudder PFCUs. Now, if the FAA has just decided that B737 rudders DO actually need to be fixed properly, why have they been happy to let them fly for the last 5 years in an unsafe state? If it needs fixing, it needs fixing NOW and not over the NEXT 5 YEARS as proposed.
Concorde was grounded and fixed straigh away - after the Air France crash (and I agree that it needed doing) but more people have died in the TWA 800 and the B737 hardover accidednts (not mentioning Alaskan MDs) than in the Concorde/A300 crashes.
I think consistency is what we need.
