Both BA and CX have had problems with these engines.
The ratio of unmodified/modded engines in their fleets and the high average thrust on take-off of Qantas aircraft [due to longer average sector length] the likely-hood of a QF failure.

Fact is : they need to be modified, Qantas can't do it anymore and the engine shops in Asia who do it for QF now are busy!
