I bought a new car, first servicing due at 17500 KM's.......wanna keep talking
You do realise that car/aeroplane manufacturers are in the business of moving stock don't you?. So the quicker you blow them up or severely damage some component the better for them. They don't want machinery that goes on forever, like they used to. It's about churn not about building quality machinery that last 20+ years.

You can talk all you like but the ongoing need for less maintenance and longer TBOs but I think the A380 blew that theory up. New aeroplane that has more checks than the older ones. 787 hasnt been much better.
