Without the semantics of worrying about minor spelling mistakes and falling hook line and sinker for a cheap shot let's get back to the topic at hand.
What questions would you ask the Qantas Head of Maintenance ?
This should concern us all as we ALL fly ALL the time.
My assertion is this Australian Aviation Standards are above world standards, have always been and should remain that way.
Why does cost always override safety ?
We have never had a Jet crash due to maintenance and there is a sound reason for that. ALL Licenced individuals in this industry are professionals keen to uphold the high standards we and CASA demand of ourselves.
Pilots, LAMEs, Approved persons (CASA) are individuals that take their jobs very seriously many have been disciplined for requiring maintenance standards be upheld.
Never before have we been assailed in such an orchestrated fashion we must stand together and fight for the rights of the flying public and ourselves.
A burning hole in the ground is not a legacy which I wish to leave for other to bear.
