Surely that would be dangerous with all the stresses that the body and wings have been through?

I would not knowingly fly in it myself given the choice, if the wife wants to go on holiday.......well thats another matter

Planes that are damaged or crashed never fly again. The strains and such like it would have gone through on impact would mean Boeing would never be able to sy if it was safe again or not.

I dare say some of the undamaged items on board will be used again though, the seats for one (as long as all the stains come out! )

AAIB have already classed the aircraft as written off.

Obviously if it was a real State or severe Structure Damage or Written off by AAIB it shouldn't fly again,
but there again the Spares will still end up on Something again there not meant to.

Bit like right off Cars and Cut and Shut, Should never happen, but it does with Tragic Consequences.

Some Foreign Airlines are not allowed in our Airspace or to Land at Certain Airports because they are Dangerous and Not even Serviced due to lack of Funds.
Not Most EU or US Companies of Course..........
