This made me think of one of those times when you are sitting on the plane ready to take off and then the pilot tells you that there will be a delay because maintenance is checking on something. Ten minutes later the pilot informs you that the issue has been taken care of.

It made me wonder what could be really going on. Something like this?

An FRU with 23 fault notices in 12 months........and it's still being ping-ponged between maintenance and the flight line.
