If you believe that the scenario I gave would not present a
potential problem, then ,hint, the answer is no, end of story. As for picking on factory aircraft, I'm not, it just so happens that the 2 I singled out were factory aircraft Did I suggest that that maintenance organisations don't make mistakes? (oops, another question.), well I'll answer that one for you, NO.
All the talk about unnecessary maitanence would have some merit if these checks were being done and no defects were being found. The facts are that defects are being found, serious ones at that. Isn't that the point of these test?
Seems to be fairly sensible to me.
