But you all must be mistaken, a failure is not a safety issue, and the failure rate of Qantas' RB211's is entirely normal.

ALAN MILNE: The Qantas 2 on climb out of Bangkok last night, the pilot's experienced some engine vibration and a higher than normal temperature. They shut the engine down, safetied it, returned to Bangkok for a normal landing.

No safety issue.

ALAN MILNE: Any of the maintenance providers that Qantas uses are world standard, world class. All of the providers have been endorsed by the manufacturer so we ensure that we always use highest quality standard.

The failure rate for these engines has been the same and as I said we're using world class facilities here.
