Quite a testament to AC maintenance practices and Airbus' engineering that this airplane could remain airworthy for so long.
AC isn't exactly known as a very high utilization operator, and certainly relatively low on 'cycles', so I doubt their frames are all that interesting for 'analysis' purposes.

Yes. There was a dig on Canadian weather somewhere above. Canadian weather may be mostly cold to humans, but outside of some transborder work, it would be nicely hidden from disgusting humidity and the salt air of other climes. And AC's under the wing crew will have undoubtedly kept it running well, but it can't escape the rules driven overhaul, even with those MIA 737s.
