Re: New toys are always more exciting than repaired ones

"So to get this straight: the planes are intended to be grounded for 2-3 months every time they need a new part? And that is the target that we can't even get close to meeting? (And let's not even mention "shipping the damn' thing to Turkey, of all places, and back")."

It does make one wonder what kind of contracts the "partner" countries are signed up to such that no one (other than possibly Canada) seems able to walk away, free and clear, due to what seems like obvious contract breakages.
