The "grounding" of the QF A380s is purely just a PR thing.

You will see them flying in a couple of days time after "extensive checks have deemed them safe" or similar.

It is better for QF's abysmal public image to ground them for a few days "in the interest of safety" and wear the cost of the associated delays than to suffer even more public negativity if they just kept flying them.

"Safety" ??? It's PR spin... that's all.




Looking forward to the report. Will be good reading.
Fookin' bang she went!

Should have gone Boeing. Should have gone GE.
