These 'planes hit the deck with a mighty THUD during everday landings. No surprise at all that structural defects have arisen. I hope the ATSB has a real good look at these faults. The ATSB has total integrity without political or economic bias.
As Nixon the Ex-president once said, "follow the money"
Airbus as well as Boeing will always try and build it cheaper one way or another. Obviously a cost consideration was made during the planning stage of the A380 and rather then spend the extra money to build it right in the first place they chose instead to gamble by building it cheaper.
The same lack of integrity exists in every company to one degree or another.

It becomes a battle between two departments, Engineering and Accounting. And Pileits, you are 100% correct, this kind of supposed thing happens in every company. Retrofits, software upgrades, reworks, and the ever-dreaded recalls.
Funny, the cost for "Field Engineering" was never entered upon the original design budget. For those who follow Dilbert, what you see there is absolutely true in the real world! "We cannot make the product release date, it has not been Beta tested........Release it anyway, if we need to fix bugs, we can charge them extra for 'upgrades'."

What I believe is that the Daily Mail is the equivalent of the National Enquirer. Don't believe me? Go read the sensationalism in most of their other articles!
You may be right in your assesment, however, recent history shows that the Enquirer has gotten the scoop on some pretty big TRUE stories over the last few years (except for the one about the girl in California with the Martian baby).
lol fair enough!
