I'm sure the 179s will be back in service long before the 211s enter service. The A needs them since Pikin will be short 13 trains once full F service is restored. |

They should store them at Bombardier's plant until Bombardier gets them right, or gives the MTA their money back...Then again, there's really nothing left of bum bar dee air. Other than the bizjet division. Which may or may not keep them going. But the Canadian government will (once again) bail them out, so it's not a problem |

Because you want to protect yourself from the possibility that 1. your specs are part of or cause the problem, or 2. your inspection folks should have caught the problem during any of the many stages of inspection and testing that occur before a car goes into service |

Since the R-142s were built by the same manufacturer and AFAIK have n problems and the rest of the specs of the R-179s should be virtually identical toe the R-160s, I can’t see where there should be any propblem with the specs. |
