I wonder though if the expense is for producing the document, or because Boeing will no longer be the only company that can repair it.

- MattGaiser 6y agoI don't think Boeing does the repair, but rather Air Force personnel.
- adamhearn 6y agoI think their point was that Boeing might be charging a premium as they will no longer service the plane. However, I don't think this is the case, the cost probably has to do more with the specificity and overall data included.
- Scramblejams 6y agoInteresting to take that factor into account, at least in other areas of the program. I have it on good authority that a major producer of jet engines was essentially forced to provide their engines for free to a major airliner program, or have the engines excluded from the program entirely. They opted in, for those sweet operational revenues. Everybody seems to be focusing on milking the maintenance market.
