I am not saying it’s minor either, just that the circumstances are very different, when Allianz went to Fokker for help there was none, and no jigs existed to do the fix, where as Boeing have in place procedures and equipment to correct the issue. Polar reactivated a 747 that was previously subject to a Mercury spill. They happen on a semi regular basis in PNG, especially on routes to Hagen, Wau and Bullolo.
