No risk in double failure or even roll back around either Melbourne or Sydney to anyone other than crew.
I can see the Flight Permit now - both crew must watch "Miracle on the Hudson" immediately prior to flight.
Well, by your own admission, it's a rumor, not fact. I've found that rumors - even when based on fact - usually leave out or alter significant details of the actual fact (particularly when someone has an agenda).
So, even it it did happen, you have zero information on what inspections and checks they might have made prior to the decision to ferry the aircraft to a maintenance base and what communication may have taken place between the operator and the manufacturers prior to the ferry flight.
