If you read the AV report, the FO on IOE likely did not follow the rotate procedure after TD, which apparently is a) different than other airframes, b) a known best practice technique w/ 763 landings.

If anyone subscribes even 1% to the metal fatigue theories as the root cause, please stop flying immediately. This is a structural issue, not a normal-load, repetitive-stress issue. Full stop.
