you couldn't get to the tail engine without a scaffold and so when
something minor happened to it while you were in West Bumfolded, you
were hosed because you couldn't fix it.

It's been over 20 years since I've flown a Trolley, but I seem to recall
being able to open a passenger door and climbing up on top of the fuselage
to check the engine oil. The cowling comes off easily.
