Qantas Head of engineering David Cox said the use of staples was unnacceptable. Qantas staff had picked up on the practice as it was happening in October and had told Singapore to eliminate it.
My understanding is that there was no 'D' Check done in Singapore during the period ..October 2006 . VH-OJQ was done in August and I believe this is the aircraft that the staples were found on.
I think Cox is making reference to ANOTHER occassion "C" check 767", which was done in Singapore in October 2006 ...... but aren't they done by SASCO ?????
