Great grammar goofs!


He told ABC radio it should be days and not weeks before the aircraft were declared ready for fly again.

"On three of the engines what we have found is slight anomalies. Oil where oil shouldn't be on the engines and we are just trying to check, what could the cause of that could be, "Mr Joyce said

"These are new engines on new aircraft, they shouldn't have these issues at this stage so it's given us an indication of an area for us to focus into.

"It's too early for us to say what components or parts of the engine we think could have been the issue."

Qantas spokeswoman Olivia Wirth said two of the Rolls-Royce built engines were in Los Angeles.

"There are some engines being subject to further tests, but in line with normal procedure," Ms Wirth told ABC radio today.

"In Los Angeles, there are two other engines that have been removed and we've been inspecting those. But this is, actually, common practice. It's how you can make sure that you're doing the right investigation."

Ms Wirth said the airline has passengers delayed in Los Angeles, despite still running a daily services operating to LA and London.

"We still do have daily services operating there. We still have a 747 fleet they're flying with,” Ms Wirth said.

"We are doing our best to get passengers stuck in LA home and everyone that as in Singapore has now touched down in Sydney," she said.
