Greenslopes,
One one occasion this happened, the only symptom being high fuel flow on one engine, is was a fractured main fuel line under the engine.
RR had produced a batch that were seriously mis-manufactured, an AD resulted.
oh!! yawn, indeed, what's a major fuel leak or two between friends.
Tootle pip!!
PS: Sunfish is spot on again, with the "profit center" structure of QF, it's how well your profit center does that determines your bonus, not the overall cost to the company of your decision.
Add to that the situation that the company was restructured for easy disposal of whole sectors of the company after the (thankfully failed) taking the company private.
Despite all the smooth words about training etc., after the A380 accident, plans to effectively outsource crewing and training with short term contract pilots seems to be proceeding "as planned".
As mentioned elsewhere on pprune, recent deliveries of A330 have been to Singapore, and that is also where the B787 will go, whether they are operated in QF ore Jetstar colours.
