I think we need Pitts to come over our way and explain to our crowd why he would want to ground all 27 A380s we have - despite the known wing issues. I would not even have to guess at the response from the owners/lessors/passengers. Which ever way you slice the business, 19 from ABZ to NS or 540 from DXB to JFK, it is ALL about risk management - balancing safety against productivity. EC have made that assessment in the full glare of an EASA oversight program, risk is still present - yes, but to an acceptable level to all the stakeholder decision makers. HC, I can see why you shrug your shoulders!
