Newsflash, NDI or Non-Destructive Inspection is part of EVERY
Scheduled Maintenance Dock inspection. Yes, they do inspect for
corrosion and metal fatigue as well. This goes for ALL Aircraft
regardless of age. Twisting this into something other than Preventive
Maintenance is just plain wrong.

PM is certainly being done - but they are talking about "removing
recently discovered corrosion".

Woppy Doo. There is ALWAYS "newly or recently formed" corrosion. The
exotic metals required corrode and get worse as they age and corrode even
more.


PM means checking if something is corroded - but this sounds like
somebody did PM and discovered that the planes have corroded parts, and
that those parts are now being fixed, which is a totally different
story.

Nope, same story.
