Re: Two Things
@Wolfetone: no, for the FAA to issue the directive it means that Boeing has identified the issue. The FAA, not being complete idiots, don't wait until something goes wrong before they issue AD's.
Boeing: Hey, if you X, Y, and Z the wings fall off an the plane plummets to the ground
FAA: Well, that hasn't happened yet, so we'll just hold this on file until it does. Thanks all the same.
