Airworthiness

I would still prefer not to ignore the known issues with this engine:

"Airbus A380 with RR Trent 900 engine. Did QANTAS ignore this directive and nearly have a disaster?
EASA AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE
Good question. Just flying a kite, feel free to shoot it down, but suppose all civil operators were required to upload maintenance and mod data (airframe and engine) to an accessible database that could be accessed by anyone? Manufacturers, pilots, engineers, and even passengers. If there is a confidentiality problem, should there be? All such records are kept on databases in any case so it is only a matter of taking fields from proprietary (company) databases for export to a central database.
