So what will be learnt from all this?
As seen at 1hr34min into the program, 8 callers straight didn't know the name of the new Qantas CEO designate.
AJ, forget the maintenance issues. You really need to get your name out there mate!

What I want to know is how the Director of Engineering, Mr Cox, gets to keep his job with Qantas!
This guy has zero respect from any engineer I have spoken with and has overseen what has been reported as a clear collapse of effective engineering management.
He even came across as being vague, appeared disinterested and attempted to trivialise serious maintenance issues when confronted by the television media wanting answers.
When shown a strip of emergency strip lighting that was stapled together after maintenance in Singapore he appeared to be stunned and almost disbelieving that this could possibly occur!
And thats was just the tip of the iceberg.
Alot of engineers are now raising CAIR reports to CASA when some of these aircraft return from heavy maintenance in Asia in worse condition than when they left.
CASA is responsible too here because these Asian heavy maintenance organisations require alot more scrutiny and auditing but little appears to have been done.
I believe Mr Cox should follow Mr Dixon and fade into obscurity, proud of overlooking the demise of QF engineering.

At the end the Journo said CX and SQ have excellent maintenance standards!! mmmmmmm
Then he said QF send all their aircraft to cheap outfits for maintenance?
Funny thing is that as I write there is yet another QF aircraft at the Hkg HAECO hangar for maintenance.
mmmmmmmmmmm
The outfit they use in Mnl is Lufthansa Technic ( or some spelling like that ) and CX have sent our A330's there too.
In Sin they use the same company that Fedex, JAL, ANA and NWA use.

Another really scathing full page report of QF is in the Gold Coast Bulletin last saturday. Whilst only a rag it is read by 500,000 people on the coast everyday. There is a lot of anger up here as QF has pulled out, and they feel neglected. This bad press must have a impact. And Tidbinbilla why are you stuffing around with the PPRUNE formula (or somebody is) are you hoping we are all so bleary eyed from sport overload that we don't notice. Im to old for change!

Surely my post couldnt be miscontrued as my honest opinion, read the post for what it is - Sarcasm.
Lap Sap - I kept skipping ahead, mind you blue eyes aint that bad - He would probably do a better job running QF engineering if he was still with us.
