Commercial decisions? Safety related decisions? Media correct decisions?

SQ opted to fly those planes found to have oil leak stains back to SIN for engine change.

QF left 2 sitting idle in LAX.

SQ clearly made a commercially driven decision backed up with technical spin as to the safe worthiness of flying the A380s home.

QF obviously overreacted to satisfy the media hungry.
