I'm aware of metal fatigue......I was in NDT for many years and it's all in background studies. A 2 year the life span of parts is not much for an airplane. AB wanted to sluff it off as a manufacturing problem and that also caught my attention. Any design problem would would make the whole aircraft suspect. Much better to blame it on some small subsidiary effin' up the widgets.
Then they tried the old "Oh, no big deal"....the brackets just hold the wing skin to the ribs....no danger there, eh?
