Reporting something that is transmitted on USA TV networks, likewise in Australia, does not make a person an aircraft spotter.
What we have established so far is, thanks to 'dragon man' the aircraft was returned to service with defects probably covered by the MEL, regardless over ruled by whom? management?
We have also established there is every chance possibly that 'street garbage' (an apt name) and 'dragon man' are possibly QF employees? whom may possibly have accessed Elog books illegally and with out authorisation. There would be guidelines as to when an employee can access same in the course of their duty.
Don't resort to name calling, it is at worst an attempt to cover up the poor state of QF aircraft. In flight turn backs are not taken lightly, and not done for fun... there was clearly a serious event that warranted annoying the first class and business class passengers.
