It's another example of poor programme execution from a subcontractor
The subcontractor in this case however is Boeing South Carolina.
it can yes, but the reality as anyone who has dealt with de-lam on flight control surfaces, its often cheaper to bin the part and buy again than to repair a de-lam composite structure.
True for flight control surfaces. Not so true for the fuselage itself. Besides, even flight control surfaces can be repaired, done that quite a few times myself, however on gliders
