There was a crack found on TR (thrust reverser) yesterday. Should have a better idea Monday once thrust reverser repair or exchange is determined. Update from Meridean; Hi Larry, The latest issue is the left T/R (thrust reverser) has a crack in the carriage beam. It is not in one of the pivot arms that can be replaced in the field. I have spoken to Larry M, and we are both researching the possibility of a used surplus, or loaner T/R. Either way, it is very time consuming, and we don't know when we would get a unitBTW- this was just discovered last night, and I first found out when I got in today. The main part of the inspection is done, some small items that have/been, or will be taken care of. There is still a lot of close-up and sealing to be done. The landing gear items are the last of the big ticket stuff will be started tomorrow. Lets see what tomorrow bringsI'll be in on the weekend to stay on top of it. Sorry that I don't have a definitive answer at this point for return to service. Pete Meridean Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T EFTA_R1_00315692 EFTA01893653
