Oh, and not de-briefing PAX about a "what-we-suspect-to-be-but-is-still-under-investigation-gyro problem" in September over here in the Grand Banks was yet another case of an operator not communicating a very serious incident to their PAX. Nothing on CADORs as yet...I wait with baited breath...
Would you care to elaborate? Serious in what context?

How about excessive nodal vibration causing fatigue cracks coupled with multiple torque loadings due to heavy payload and rapid temperature variations as a few areas of concern for starters,
Doesn't explain why one particular fleet is affected. I think you under-estimate the true calibre and expertise of the design teams involved. It's not a bunch of mechanics 'fabricating' machines, ala 'American Chopper'.
