Lets get it into perspective, over 16,000 hrs on jets, according to my log (and roughly worked out) about every 1700 hrs I had a turn back or some sort of engine failure, (big and small). This is on the DC9, B747, A300, 747/200/300. The only one that made it into the press was because Keating and a few other pollies were on board, out of CBR. Somehow I would think this would have still made it into press, even if the Boks were not on board. QF bashing is still alive and well. However if the Engineers can think of a way of helping the Wallabies, well I am all for it!
