Maintenance procedures are proscribed by the manufacturer, not the airline. Their is also no industry as anal about doccumentation and accountability as aircraft makers. One of the side effects of lawyers.
I doubt SAS is doing anything wrong and my bet is they are on the bleeding edge of a now discovered problem.
That said.. Bombardier better start paying back the people of Canada and the government, in that order, while they still have money.

But Bombardier doesn't do the maintenance, the airline is responsible for that. All Bombardier does is supply the parts and the maintenance requirements for their aircraft.

If this was a flaw by Bombardier then wouldn't the other carriers around the world have similar issues?

The Q400 has been in service since 1983. Accidents can happen and manufactures can make defective products but if the manufacture is in the wrong why are we only seeing this now and primarily with one carrier?

The Danish Government has reviewed it's The Q400 fleets record and investigated the Swedish crash.

The Danes have found no problems but discovered that OPP screwed up with a piece of rubber jammed in the landing gear........the cause of the failure/crash.

Bombardier should sue Sweden's butt off.
