Korean Air seemingly has a very high hit rate of problem aircraft - 9 of 42
Boeing 737 NG: 9 Aircraft Grounded In South Korea Due To Cracks
simpleflying.com
So given limited range of a B738, that means a (three?) sector flight with minimum 10 hour intermediate rest stops for the flight crew?
From memory the 737 delivery flights just needed a stop in Hawaii.
How may cracks has WN discovered in their massive fleet of 750 x 737 (of course not all are the NG series)
Virgin has 75 737s. Only 19 are the next gen aircraft potentially affected.
Once again Purvinas doing a great job of trying to scare and disrupt the travelling public.
Why not... Our members recognise this might be scary to the travelling public and our engineers will be working as quickly as they can to inspect the remaining aircraft

Indeed plain silly. However, grounding the fleet would have created a lot of overtime pay for the engineers required to undertake the inspections and sign-off the aircraft as fit to operate and return to service. So which group would stand to benefit from such an action [rhetorical question].Calls for grounding of the aircraft, are just plain silly.
Which other airlines have grounded all their non cracked 737NGs?
