Thanks gobble dock, just for the record I'm a LAME at Qantas. I'm one of the proud few who want to see my airline succeed and not run it down just because a few people don't get a living owed to them. Yeah, I see problems but I would sooner be constructive and make a healthy contribution to change than make negative comments in a public forum. Unless you are part of the organisation, you can be respected for making an informed comment. If you are not, then I take it innuendo and hearsay are taken as written.
My point was, all aircraft have issues. You don't have to draw links between an airlines management and a discovered fault. Great news really to find it, I don't see it as a problem and neither should the public. Qantas has more than enough knowledge, experience and skills to deal with these issues. Those on the inside will all admit that there is waste and baggage to trim. Improvements through process change, integration and technology improvements should not be a threat.
