I expect to be chastised if I am incorrect but my take on it is as follows

Aircraft pushback as per normal in SIN - NO LICENCED ENGINEER

Tailpipe Fire occurs - UNLICENCED ENGINEER DOESN"T KNOW WHAT TO DO

Calls Cockpit - FIRE FIRE FIRE SHUTDOWN ENGINE

An appropriate licenced Engineer would have told the crew "Tailpipe Fire No # Engine, Shut Off Fuel, Motor engine over until fire disperses on my call"

Instead a life threatening incident occurs

NO LICENCED ENGINEER OPERATION ENDANGERS LIVES - WHEN WILL THE QANTAS MANAGEMENT WAKE UP, WHEN SOMEONE DIES ?

AUSTRALIA HAS THE BEST AVIATION SAFETY RECORD FOR GOOD REASON - DON'T LET PROFIT MONGERING DESTROY IT

IT IS TIME FOR THE AUSTRALIAN PUBLIC TO STAND UP
