So immediately they put out a press release to say starting tonight we will inspect EVERY 737 in the Qantas fleet for the pickle fork cracks as we pride ourselves in our reputation for safety, we believe this will take us 7 days. Pro active, on the front foot and Steve Purvenas and the rest of us here would have had nothing to bitch about. Just imagine.
Precisely the point made: To actually do what airline management is supposed to do would have generated "game changing" safety focused management. All for a little time during a ground transit.
Much better to focus on rainbow aircraft and fight gender wars.
