Told by an engineering mate that the early build a380 of which OQA is one, have a heavier spar construction than later built SJP's (Sarah Jessica Parkers ,fashionable, high maintainence, butt ugly, and inclined to go to pieces when pushed too hard).

Does this mean waiting on a complete new wing.?

Another question arises, if the early build spars are heavier and more robust, what would the outcome have been if an engine had let go on a later model ,lighter sparred SJP?
