If they can't retrofit it in a way that's safe, then to the scrapyard it goes.
All they did was ensure their fix gets even more scrutiny and to require additional proof that it's safe.

- alkonaut 7y agoIt's always going to be boeings word. This is like a building permit - the applicant argues with drawings and technical arguments why their design meets the criteria (and quite commonly why their design is safe despite not meeting some specific criteria). If you don't take a manufacturers word for something you can never get into any plane ever.
