just read about the` scrapping` on A-net , and like the posters there i think that rumour is the result of an overactive imagination;

Ok so I'm not an expert but this triggers my baloney detector for several reasons:
- Three engine ferries are not that uncommon.
- Why would the pylon have been overstressed?
- Why would the hydraulic system need replacing?
- Stringers can be replaced.
- I doubt the material investigation is complete. Seems a bit early to talk about scrapping


to copy the reply from a-net on the topic of scrapping.
