QF is sending almost 30 LAME's to Singapore to oversee the maintenance of this B744 as they have experienced the lack of quality control at this MRO before, when they sent QF/AO B767's there for maintenance. These aircraft needed extensive rectification on return to Oz. It is expected that these LAME's will accrue plenty of overtime and they will need eyes in the back of their heads.
The aircraft is being sent to Singapore as management believe that if it was the "D" check was started in Sydney then it would never be completed. There was not enough hours left on the aircraft to delay the "D" check until the Avalon operation is up and running.
