Although I agree with your post in general, ALAEA may be a little out of line by using QF 32's incident yesterday (different to the past) to make a case.
Can I ask, and I dont know the answer, how many catastrophic engine failures did QANTAS have when all maint was done in house. And how many catastrophic engine failures has it had since engines were NOT done in house. I dont know, but, maybe there is a relationship there. I will declare that I am in the maintenance business, but not at QANTAS, just interested, thats all.
