And I thought that the Airbus v Boeing slanging matches were the reserve of Airliners.net
Serious question though...is this the second set of cracks to appear in the A380 wing? First the ribs(s) themselves, and now the rib feet? How big a job will this be to inspect / repair? I see one day mentioned for inspection...is that optimistic? And if a repair is required, I'm guessing each aircraft could be out for a number of weeks?
PS. If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going...unless the fare is cheaper, in which case, I might do a quick risk assessment, and decide to take the chance
