Boeing pleads guilty., page-6

Hi tgent
I would not dare argue with an expert in this field citing a tried and true tenet of banking to me !
And I am not even sure which bit you disagreed with except I probably muddled whatever I was trying to say ?
Anyway I agree (I think?)

- a major premise of CVM tech has always been potential money-saving alongside safety.​

And as our friend Paul Swindell noted back in 2008 per the aerospace engineer thread ;
(oooh I get to pull out his historic quote again )

If [airlines] are not saving significant man-hours or able to make the pay-off in a very short time, it's hard for them to convince management to buy the equipment," ​

I had just figured that Boeing - which by many accounts was already losing money hand over fist (causing outsourcing and shoddy workmanship getting overlooked) will now have a huge list of things it needs to prioritise - possibly many of these more important and costly than CVM apps for aft pressure bulkheads.


And so, yes …. I think it will be up to the airlines with eligible aircraft to order and retrofit once approval is granted.
…… And hasn’t Love recently talked about how a few have signalled they are ready to go?

cheers
(and I hope the AEM sales team are fully prepped on Kelowna’s Friday Donut day high octane sugar, fat and carb hits to go forth and conquer !)
