Goodbye old qantas, hello New Qantas BNE H/M style.
God help us all! The list of substantiated stories that come out of there makes me shudder. eg The manager PT ordering that a component be dissassembled,new parts fitted and put back into service even though it can only legally be done in a workshop, just to save a bit of money. The only upside is that eventually a tech rep threatened to ground the aircraft and report it to CASA stopped it from going ahead.
This cavalier approach to save money at all costs should be stamped out immediately.
The flying public need to be aware that maintaining aircraft is not cheap and if they want SAFE travel they will have to pay an extra five to ten dollars a ticket.
If they want Dodgy Brothers Airways then they have to accept the fact that it might not be as safe as it should be.
