Mud Skipper,
I heard the same story as wing_nut from a couple of QF guys who also said that the QAR had been removed and for this reason the incident was under investigation and was now confidential.
Apparently, these blokes were saying that to get a command, at least on the 737 now in QF, an interview and some form of testing is necessary - all because of this incident.
But, then again Mud Skipper the "R" in PPRUNE stands for "Rumour" and you are most probably right - these two Qantas guys I was talking to were obviously spreading rumours about the company again!
