We'll be sending a survey team over shortly, I'm sure. We are all assuming it will be to confirm it is a write-off for the insurance company. Then again, no one has written off a 777 yet, and no one wants to be the first. BA may be willing to spend up to the cost of new to fix this one. There are no open slots in the firing order for a few years, and they really need that airplane. Looking at that quartering left rear photo, though, with the walking beam torn loose and sticking out like that - I think she's done. I'll be in Cardiff in a couple of weeks on a 767 SIP tech assist for BA; I'm sure we will be talking about it then...
