Any takers on the regulators stepping in and the RR powered A380's to be grounded for some time? RR will have to come up with a fix and one suspects that won't be quick. New, spare and untarnished Trent 900's just don't sit around idly for situations like this.

IFALPA VP Richard Woodward, also a QF A380 captain, hinted as much yesterday. If not a grounding, then limited to low power take-offs and other restrictions?

Reliable sources report that, apart from the litany of problems in the list above, this crew also lost roll control for a brief period. Well done guys!
