P8 and fatigue

I take your point but it's been my experience of Boeing that they promise everything and when it falls short in a particular department it points out that that part wasn't specified in the contract.
In my opinion, the only reason airliners of the 60's made good maritime ac, was due to the fact they were built using slide rules and were over-engineered. I have no doubt that an A319/320 maritime ac would suffer similar issues, my beef is that instead of fixing the ac, like Kawasaki will no doubt do, Boeing remove the capability.
