A couple of points interest me.

Will it be worth spending millions on repairing the aircraft which at 14 years of age and with 80,000 flying hours is about 2/3 into its useful life?

I wonder how the flight crew will be handled and if they are back flying yet. LOT may decide the crew have done a great job of the landing and it all depends on whether management regard missing the popped cb as a minor error that any crew might have made or an extremely serious one. There will doubtless be a big debate on whether they did well or not.

It reminds me a litle of the Air Transat glider into the Azores. The crew did a great job of the deadstick landing and saved the plane but might have managed the circumstances that led to it a bit better.

I hope they keep their medals and jobs.
