Another example of QF not investing in the long term heavy maintenance of their aircraft, but be that as it may if LH don't have any 380 aircraft of their own questions must be asked of "adequate" experience of their staff to complete third party work competently and on time.
No disrespect to the LH engineers but without genuine extended on aircraft experience they may well struggle to get the job done properly anywhere close to on time, but I stand to be proven wrong.
Bear in mind this thing is a very different animal from a maintenance perspective.
