“Cold feet” VERY late in the day…

Taken from http://www.scramble.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=44868&start=45 .
The timing of this decision is rather unfortunate to say the least. I hope the one responsible for this is made VERY aware that this is not the way to treat hard-working volunteers… 😡
Money just cannot buy everything…

OK, here is info from a reliable source with KLM, that I will not further disclose.

The ban on flying has everything to do with reliability (in retrospect: what else…). The risks of ‘just flying’ this aircraft are deemed too high and solutions will be sought to manage those risks. How that will be done remains unclear, but a form similar to the Dakota operation seems likely.

Questions that remain:
– How long will it take to meet the liability-related demands, if it is feasable?
– Why was this decision taken now, on the brink of the first flight after so much hard work? Did nobody see this coming?
– And still: why on earth has nobody from the board come out yet to simply explain matters?

We wait in anticipation…
