Sorry, I "entered" before I could post the message:(:eek:

Structural question:
With vibration and flames from the landing, how many years of plane life is left, if any?
Is it still structurally sound and would they dare put it back it service?
I'm assuming, possibly 5-10 years have been taken off the plane's shelflife.

Of course, there was a news story in the last month about this. And, if you get caught, the most that happens is a tiny little fine.. Of course they would dare.. they do it all the time.

Not qualified to answer that.
Maybe Jetblue will just use it for parts.

Sorry, I still think this is an important question to ask.

Would they ever put this plane back into service, with a new paint job and number, or is this illegal?
For all the flyers out there, esp. after Delta and NW bkrpcy and fewer carriers, you might want to ask questions about the safety and maintenance records of this airline.
Seems like a MAJOR fvckup with landing gear repairs and maintenance
