Nowhere in that article does it say that the planes were actually grounded. Just that some engineers suggested it.
I just won't stand under it for a couple months until they are all fixed. :)
How is it that LH doesn't have any cracks but the other operators do? Wierd
I know I asked to edit title.Quote:

How do we know nobody else does? It may have been kept quiet. Very interesting. If an engineer makes that bold a claim as to the whole fleet needing to be grounded maybe he feels they are more than just little cracks.
Lufthansa flies their planes "gently" :P
Gentle.....Not. Easy answer? Chance. Perhaps its just a matter of time.
Saw this article last week. Seems odd (and refreshing) that the media didn't make a huge fuss about it.
Not one thread on anet either that is amazing. My hat is off to damage control at Airbus. Well done.Quote:
