Have you got a reference to substantiate that claim?

404 Titan,

Ask anybody who was at the last CASA SCC meeting, where all the changes, some quite radical, some very concerning to industry, to address the FAA concerns, were laid out. The QF representative made a quite substantial submission on the subject.

Do you suppose CASA would go to all this trouble, if everything was AOK??

Tootle pip!!

'One Qantas aircraft allegedly departed an approved foreign maintenance organisation with over 450 open defects'.

I believe that Steve Purvinas has previously stated that the aircraft had the 450 defects cleared before it departed the facility.

It seems that once again the media is publishing unresearched sensational stories.

Presenting factual evidence would make this whole thing a little more credible.
