Let's get some facts right.
The reason it was grounded is that a catering truck damaged the fuselage skin - nothing more sinister that that. (Reply 17)

The problem is quite serious for what I hear, word on the street has it that it landed off a training flight when the two engines with trust rev would not cancel so the shut them down, started the APU on taxi in then at the gate shut the other two engine down, instead of the APU picking up the elect load it all went rather dark and quiet.
Engineers then found one of the boxes in the E&E bay happily burning away.
Unable to fly it stays here for repair. (Reply 32)
Which line of discussion is correct?

So let's try get this right! It is an electronic electrics gizmo problem, not:
Shower water heater system burn out
Catering truck collision
What is up with these people? Are they smoking something? People sit at their keyboards and pure diarrhoea pours out, then some idiot raises a Boeing/Airbus discussion? Mad.

It was a fairly senior Emirates employee who told me about the catering truck incident. I had no reason to disbelieve him.

I heard that the problems startet after maintenance training. Maybe they gave the maintenance contract to the same guys who did the Etihad A340-600 engine test run last year in Toulouse?

would never have happened to a Boing.....
Also seen a few other makes grounded for mishaps with vehicles.
It's not normally the aircraft type that dictates the grounding but the speed which the vehicle hit it at and any skin would buckle when hit at even 30 mph or less in the right place.
