Flexible Response - Do you think they will try and repair the wing or replace it? I ask as a pilot, not an engineer.
I appreciate spare wings are not kept on the shelf but would it not have been simpler to manufacture and ship a new wing to Singapore? Does the wiring have logical junctions at the point of attachment of the wing and body? Are the wings manufactured with wiring in place?
I would have thought that both QANTAS and Airbus would not want the old wing to fly again, even a subsequent and unrelated accident will have Joe public blaming it, if it does fly again!
