I can attest to the few bodies in MTC. It seems that every airplane I fly (757/767) has numerous DF items. These are not just cosmetics but DF items with operational impact. ADP's, Auto Spd Brk, APU's, etc. In the past I can not recall so many items. In fact last week I took the MRD from the pouch on a 757 and it stretched it out in the cabin to see how long it was. Granted it was on the narrow ACARS paper, but it still went from Row 1 to Row 5 (included all the MEL CARDS).
IMO, we have the best mechanics I have ever worked with. (5 airlines) The guys have never let me down or tried to force an airplane to service. They really treat them like they are flying in them. The DF items are a result of manpower and time since the aircraft are flying more hours versus in the past.
