And MELs are down to record lows, wow what a coinky-dnik?
Perhaps you need to watch the latest CLT crew news where Robert Isom mentions that at the beginning of the summer sched. change that problems with the A-330's caused mtc to be stretched very thin resulting in the rest of the fleet not being ready for summer ...more mels. Things are better now mostly because the fleet is now ready for last summer. I don't fault any mech. when we have more mels than normal I think that is more an upper management problem.
