Does this mean nothing has been done to get this plane back flying? Being a large revenue stream for AF, I expected replacing the engine, pylon, and repair wing damage to the point it could be ferried back to Europe to have happened by now, unless the damage to the wing is more extensive than reports indicated. I do realize that spare pylons for #4 engine are not sitting around in parts storage; however, having been involved in producing large equipment my entire career, getting a customer's disabled machine back operating and generating revenue took precedence over nearly everything.
