Assessing Performance - CVM 737 APB, page-5

As always a great article, thanks DrDaz.

In part:
"CONCLUSIONS
"The costs associated with the increasing maintenance and surveillance needs of
aging aircraft are rising. The effect of structural aging and the dangerous
combination of fatigue and corrosion has produced a greater emphasis on the
application of sophisticated health monitoring systems.
Corrective repairs initiated by early detection of structural damage are more cost effective since they reduce the need for subsequent major repairs and may avert a structural failure....."

My view is Boeing has been reckless in delaying the inevitable.

Let's hope 2024 sees common-sense prevail.
