Qantas don’t have those jacks they had to bring them from Air New Zealand. I’m told it needed a lot of complete gear cycles however they are limited in the number that can be completed each day. It’s been on the ground since the 9.12.19 causing daily cancellations.
As Geoffrey Dixon ordered the aircraft and Little Napoleon is yet to order his first, "corporate knowledge" being what it is, there is likely nobody who knew they needed spares and support.
Give Little Napoleon some time, strategic decisions with supported aircraft are not his forte, ask the Diversity Managers at Qantas and they won't know either.
