As stated earlier in this submission, at no stage did SJL maintenance division suffer from lack of resources. However, as SJL notes in its comments on [safety recommendation 068/00] it has substantially increased its maintenance resources. In any case, SJL has taken such action (implemented in December 1999) to ensure a timely upgrade of its fleet and to ensure that SJL’s operations exist at a safety level well above that required in MSA Rule Part 80.
