Has QF sent A380 teams over to the various ports where the A/C are grounded to carry out inspections, daily/weekly checks etc...?
With L.A in mind, most Line Stations are staffed by the bare minimum LAME's to cover their daily operations, 3 extra A380's sitting on the deck would be a manpower black hole, and with all the usual movements, customers (if any) etc.... still needing to be attended to, surely they would require assistance?
