It is apparent that the Board and GD don't care about the quality of aircraft returning from overseas MRO's, as long as the costs of outsourced maintenance is lower than inhouse work the push will be for more outsourced work. Even though the costs of repairs are being recovered the bottom line is that once the decision was made to outsource nothing will change the company's mind in the short term to retain maintenance in Australia.
A number of overseas airlines who outsourced their maintenance have finally realised their error and have started to bring it back inhouse but this is a long and costly process. When a new board is finally installed a change may take place but by then it will probably be to late.
