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

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.
And I, I took the path less traveled by
and that has made all the difference......yet...
I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

Not one thread on anet either that is amazing. My hat is off to damage control at Airbus. Well done.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
I was thinking the same thing. I bet the pro Airbus crowd at anet went nuts on the threads there. I think only a grounding would have been considered newsworthy.Note to Airbus: This thread can be deleted, too! Make checks payable to NYCAviation...
