As I alluded to before, the A380 criteria process was MEL centric
Well F#@K ME, there's a change for the rest of the QF network, something that isn't SYD centric for once.
Sorry but had to point that out for you that particullary in engineering there is constant QF SYD centric policy and procedure rammed down the rest of the networks throats that isn't necessarily for the better and in the past a lot of ALAEA policy was very SYD centric.
Taking cover now!
BTW the rest of the post I agree with.
