So if there are question marks over safely operating a four engined jet across the pacific with outsourced maintenance, wouldn't operating a twin engined jet across the pacific with outsourced maintenance be really really dangerous? Maybe I missed it but I don't recall the column from Ben criticising V Australia for doing this and just searched for his comments on the April 15th incident when V had an engine failure at LA, seems it never even warranted a column from Ben. Leaves me wondering if Ben is truly objective.
