IIRC Emerald's fleet got grounded because of, er, improper maintenance records. They weren't being updated within the timescale required after maintenance performed. I think this was the last straw for Emerald as they'd also been caught with improper flight crew records too,DaveB wrote:Rgr that EricI can't recall the exact reasons for the 748's withdrawal now but something is telling me it was down to maintenance or lack of by the 'then' operator. It was uneconomic for them to get the airframes where they needed to be (probably not possible either) so the plug was pulled on the lot. I think that's it.. something like that anyway
