Yeah, I cant remember hearing about Virgin Blue placing an aircraft on line with no static inverter(B747 SYD-LAX), or dispatching an aicraft for a long overwater flight with no life-rafts(B737 MEL to CCH), yet these are 2 stunts that QF have pulled in the past. No organisation is perfect and ALL humans make mistakes; the idea is to build systems in which there are layers of redundancies that 'absorb' human error. All this nah-nah -nah stuff is infantile and counter productive.
