    Any updates on the degrading A350 paint issues that grounded the Qatar A350 fleet aircraft. Or do your posts only cover anything bad from Boeing??

    I get these videos in my YouTube feed, so what I see, I see. I wasn't aware of the A350 problem, but as a former engineer on the 767 and 777, I am particularly concerned about problems with Boeing aircraft.

    Ironically, the video above mentions that Airbus was planning to put similar electrochromic windows in future A350s!

    They are also expensive to get air worthy after extended storage. Several of the 787's leased to Norwegian Airlines sitting since early 2020 will be parted out as they can make more from the spares than getting them back in the air. A380's are also having this same problem, but for a different reason. Airlines still want 787's. Not many companies want A380's other than maybe Emirates:rolleyes:
