BA need to up their game with these ex BMI Airbus’. None of them are in great condition.
That’s somewhat speculative, I’d have to say.

In the year since, I imagine the airframe has done rather a lot of rotations and miles without incident. I’m not aware that either BD or subsequently BA have ever cut back on maintenance of any aircraft.

You may be right and there’s an underlying issue here, but I’m doubtful. Could you provide more concrete evidence to support your theory?
