by reducing the OH cycle, they have done this, although tragically late in this case.
I'm curious if the other manufacturers have used this an an opportunity to re-evaluate their own gears too. I'm not convinced that Airbus is the only one at risk here. Are the other makes and models ticking time bombs as well?
whatever went wrong, you can bet Airbus will solve it at some point. they are at least moving in the right direction in my opinion.
can the 225 model survive though? I'm skeptical but remain positive.
