There was a crack found on TR (thrust reverser) yesterday. Should have a better idea Monday once thrust reverser repair or exchange is determined. Update from Meridean; Hi Larry, The latest issue is the left T/R (thrust reverser) has a crack in the carriage beam. It is not in one of the pivot arms that can be replaced in the field. I have spoken to Larry M, and we are both researching the possibility of a used surplus, or loaner T/R. Either way, it is very time consuming, and we don't know when we would get a unit- BTW- this was just discovered last night, and I first found out when I got in today. The main part of the inspection is done, some small items that have/been, or will be taken care of. There is still a lot of close-up and sealing to be done. The landing gear items are the last of the big ticket stuff will be started tomorrow. Lets see what tomorrow brings- I'll be in on the weekend to stay on top of it. Sorry that I don't have a definitive answer at this point for return to service. Pete Meridean Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T EFTA_R1_00315692 EFTA01893653
