Shouldn't QF contact airlines who had their aircraft maintained by SIAEC in the past to get clarification? Also, can't CASA ask to inspect SIA aircraft that arrive in Australia? There are 90 flights to choose from every week??
....Different emergency escape path lighting system to QF. Most airlines use a low voltage system with normal wires which would be near impossible to staple. The QF system is not used by many operators. It is 115v (Despite what Mr Gibson says, see below). The "wires" on Qantas aircraft consist of a 10mm wide flexible plastic strip with 2 copper conductors embedded inside.
Mr Gibson said the stapled wiring was in a 12-volt system and it was not considered a safety of flight issue.
... even CASA is buggering up the story! As I said, a 115v system, not 12v.
