This is the point that concerns me.
Despite everyone's best efforts and commitment, what are the chances of
age related faults such as skin delamination or fatigue cracks or even faulty repairs by a previous operator, going undetected.
I raise this as a question rather than a definitive point given that any process involving human input is not infallible and particularly where commercial pressures may be involved.
Having expressed these concerns, I must acknowledge the fantastic safety record of the aviation industry particularly within the UK.
