where is QUANTAS sending their maintenance? If it is going north to Indonesia, work for post maintenance defect rectification should be available and warrenty claims for repairs tracking would be a growth sector. I am not quoting what I hear, I have done business with them and the quality/customer service aspects are lacking. Amazing how the ability to speak english disappears when there is a problem.
and as for South Africa. call it whatever world you like, but its good (if you got the skills) and you can experience first and third world all within one hour. But it is not for sissies.
