- jacquesm 5y agoBecause sometimes process optimizations have complex downstream effects. Aerospace engineers are anything but a bunch of goof offs, which is why flying is as safe as it is. And that's why they pulled the aircraft from service even though it is 'just a surface issue' they want to make sure that it really is just that before releasing them - freshly painted - back into service again. The history of aerospace quality control is written in blood, not because they are goof offs but because materials science is complex and sometimes the only warning you get that something is wrong is a crash. Avoiding those is what this sort of action is all about, in any other industry they would have slapped some new paint on it and kept going.
