Looks like there will be some "holes" in the production line pretty soon...

cmica wrote: my guess would to trash it. who knows what damage or integrity of it will show up later Maybe. But Boeing's AOG (airplane on ground) teams do some pretty amazing things with getting damaged airplanes back in the sky. I expect they could work some similar miracles on these fuselages. Check out this AOG video: http://www.airspacemag.com/videos/category/flight-today/ptq-put-together-quickly/ Schedule will be everything here. It's critical to get those fuselages back into the production line ASAP, to meet customer commitments. And of course, whether they get repaired or replaced, they will be 100% before they leave the ground. _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

Here's another AOG article. Note the bit about the Air India repair: "The damaged 747 in New Delhi, India, in 1988 was the biggest repair job in Boeing AOG history -- nearly 70 percent of the airplane needed repair or replacement."

Depends on the Damage. If the cars rolled over and the skins are all damaged, as well as underlying structure, they probably won't bother with them....and the one with the 48 Sec ripped off? Scrap.
They will incur more damage being recovered as well, it ain't over yet. _________________ Mr. Q wrote: so basically, if you have to smoke some asshole, make sure they become fertilizer and then Bounce? got it.

I suppose they could repackage them as the 787-Ouch. Can't be much worse.
