QFinsider, you have every reason to be extra cautious. The defects that are starting to be found on transit checks are getting serious. On most occasions these defects can be traced back to the last heavy maintenance inspection. They are defects that either should have been found during the heavy maint. inspection, or they are defects that originated at the heavy maint. inspection.
If you have the ability, look at the reasons why OJC, OJO and OED didn't make schedule on the day they were supposed too. These were in the past week. Go back 2 years. This type of dispatch reliability was unheard of in QF history.
Jetscabster, because other airlines have lost hulls and lives does not make it acceptable. Because QF management have factored in the impact on the bottom line of hull and life loss does not make it acceptable.
