Qantas Outsourcing Heavy Maintenance?
Evertonian
I'm sure that QF will not lose on the BNE hangar. I bet they'll sell it as part of the outsourcing contract.
Sunfish You words give me the impression that you were quite okay with what you did to your client. You'll do well in Oz business...

Actually Buster, I wasn't OK with what was done. It was done by the Directors of the company and I had no say in the matter. I didn't stay too long either, I got sick of the seamy side of the IT business, as well as the awefully effective, but Oh so nasty, multi level marketing that was done, especially to public servants.
You know the sort of stuff when you say to your client's junior project manager: "I saw your Minister at our private box at the Tennis/Opera/ Grand Prix (insert as appropriate) and I told him how well things were going and what a great job you are doing. By the way, would you mind approving these invoices for extras?"

OZCC, both SQ and CX aircraft are maintained in Asia, by cheap labour among other large carriers without any major problems.
Chinese domestic airlines are a different story. See link.

QF's longhaul fleet is starting to get a bit long in the tooth and their D checks are going to turn up a lot more problems such as corrossion and cracks in structural components.
An 3rd world MRO LAME is far more likely to turn a blind eye than a Qantas LAME will.
I'll bet G.D doesn't send his car to the cheapest garage he can find yet he's quite willing to send QF's planes to the cheapest MRO.

i could not agree with you more-having worked up there we could not give a **** if we signed of inspections with out doing them properly we had time constraints and clients not willing to pay . our bosses just wanted us to get the aircraft out on time cheaply so they looked good to the client-thats the main reason why i left.

TOKYO — Japan Airlines had been flying a Boeing jumbo jet for seven months without realizing the plane's left and right outer engines had been placed on the wrong sides during maintenance in Singapore in February, airline officials admitted Wednesday.
Some components of the engines are required to be inspected once every 650 flights, but as a result of the mistake, one of the engines completed about 850 flights without being examined.
The officials said there were no safety problems but the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Ministry instructed the airline to take measures to prevent any recurrence.
In February, JAL commissioned ST Aviation Services Co Pte Ltd in Singapore to conduct maintenance work on the four-engine Boeing 747. The plane resumed service after the overhaul was completed in April.
It was not until a regular maintenance checkup in November that the engines were discovered to have been attached wrongly.
