No offence intended to Daewoo drivers,
BUT.......
Are these things really up to flying high cycles, for 12+ years for the Qantas Group? We have seen so far a grounding over 2.5 years ago for a similar undercarriage problem, the engines requiring an intermediate speed cruise schedule to ensure the A-- end doesn't burn out of the engine, NL restrictions placarded until a mod was done and now this next undercarriage issue.
I am led to believe, from high within, there is a chance these aircraft could be out of the air for upto 20+ weeks awaiting rectification from Bombardier.
AND now we order 7 more of these things.
I know they make money, but are they the machine that got Eastern, Sunstate and Southern to be where they are today........and more importantly will they take us where we need to go tomorrow and into the future??
