Interesting thread! Anyway, STIOP mentioned that airports in DR work on a "turnaround schedule". For those of us that are clueless about airplanes, what does this mean in terms of maintenance? What mechanical work/maintenance/check-up is done on a commercial airplane once it lands in DR?
I know that there's some repair capability at the airports, as I was on an AA STI-JFK flight that sustained damage to one of the turbine's fins during takeoff. We came back to the gate and left about 2 hours later, after repairs were made.
