can't see it being written off either...

unless the costs to fix it approach the cost of a replacement (some $350M), then financially, it would make no sense.

This also ignores the likes of Airbus interests, no way will they want to see it scraped, would send out completely the wrong message to potential customers.

let's not forget, somewhere along the line, somebodies insurance is going to have to pay for this, and I can't believe it's in anybodies interests to scrap it.

As for the ferry flight to get it back to France, I imaging Airbus would be best placed to manage how this is organised/covered.
