I agree that you are dogged in your determination to BLAME these guys, which is fine. But you seem just as determined to convince others to do so as well. I'll invite you to keep your negative viewpoint, but I'm content to keep mine.

The owner has done some cost analysis that's been published and he thinks it's worthwhile. I have nothing on which to base a contradictory view. It looks bad on the outside, but that's all cosmetic--fairing compound stripped away and paint scratched up. Structurally she's intact (but for the rigging) and the interiors are spectacular. I'd try everything to save her if she were mine. I still hope the salvage effort works, but nothing has gotten underway as yet.
