Sounds like QF are reaping the benefits of cost cutting like a lot of other big airlines around the world have been. Using cheaper MRO such as Manilla, HKG SIN etc always looks good as the bottom line is how much it costs....but how much does a delayed/cancelled flight cost due to door seals incorrectly fitted etc etc. If there is nothing to hide why does CASA nt releases their audit reports of htese MRO's, must have something to hide? I have seen first hand the standard of work from some of these MRO's...shocking...literally...live wires taped up to the structure with normal tape! Oxygen masks not connected....the list goes on...and yes mandatory reports were raised for these faults...but hey its cheap. Now that Oz is going over to the dumbed down JAR66 licences you can look forward to even lower standards...
