Conspiracy theories
.. the idiots, or people who cannot face reality are at it again, AN fell on its own sword, sharpened over many years for all sorts of reasons. The current problem, that has surfaced with the QF 744s (and Ryanair 737-200s) are of an entirely different cause.
I have had my differences with the industrial tactics of Oz aircraft engineers, but in this case give them credit for picking up the problem, professionally, with scheduled maintenance, carried out on time, unlike the terrible problems that occurred in AN.
