This is still the exploratory phase of dealing with the pickle fork cracking issue. Boeing are assembling data on the scope, severity and timing of this matter. Nobody yet knows definitively what the lower time limits are for cracking damage.
What I think we can say, based on the apparent refusal of Qantas to inspect early, is that they are not a proactive contributor to the resolution of this safety issue beyond their legal responsibility, which of course they will discharge.
Draw your own conclusions about Qantas commitments to safety beyond their legal requirements which they no doubt meet.
To be fair, in my day I’m not sure we would have looked either, unless directed.
