[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 338663, member: 2193"] "UPS Airlines has grounded the A300s till an inspection on the tail section has been completed." UPS has grounded 53 of its its jet fleet (20%) and there is no mention in the press, on the UPS site, on the UPS pilots site, the FAA site or any professional pilots site? Is this what you are referring to? April 14, 2008 "The FAA also ordered carriers flying certain Airbus aircraft to reinforce part of the fuselage due to the "potential loss of structural integrity ... during extreme rolling and vertical maneuver combinations." That directive applies to 160 planes in the U.S. and could cost up to $16,160 per aircraft. Operators, including American, United Parcel Service and FedEx Corp., must make the changes within 2,500 flight cycles of the May 19 effective date." Any link you can provide to the grounding story would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
