Safety
Hope you did not mis-read my post. From what I get the aircraft that were found with cracks in the ribs were not due to routine maintenance. I would like to confirm that the initial investigation into the wings were as a result of fuel leaks and possibly the un contained engine failure probably causing damage to the lower wing skin. If this is true, un-scheduled maintenance found this serious problem that will likely be found on most A380's in service if they decide to look.
