Also, I don't know who did the maintenance work - I suspect the White Star crew did it. I do know that big companies like Peabody, Consol and Massey have to plan that far in advance to get new or remanufactured equipment delivered to them on time, and as you would expect, they'll be at the top of the list in terms of priority ($$$). So, one can only imagine what a small operator under BK would have to do.
