Amazing to think that a few weeks ago when it had a red tail the news would've been instantly beamed around the country and the well oiled slagging off machine would be well and truly working.

made the ch.7 news
few passenger interviews "really scared" "just descended" - surprised no-one saw flames.
closed story with latest story "has many passengers questioning maintenance procedure"

at least they got video of the actual silver a330, unlike nonews usual white 717

As of recently all A330 engineering support transferred QF to J*.

CASA wanted to see a history of "in-house" widebody work prior to allowing J* to do their own work on the B787.

I can only say that irrespective of what Mr Joyce continues to say or whatever his next excuse may happen to be, (because this was previous a Qantas aircraft, before becoming Jetstar) THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE WAY QANTAS MAINTENANCE IS STRUCTURED.

MORE MAINTENANCE CHECKS REQUIRED, REGULAR CHECKS AS PRESCRIBED BY CASA & A/C MANUFACTURER WITHOUT JUST SIGNING THE MR BECAUSE YOU ASSUME ALL IS OK TO CUT CORNERS AND COSTS.

Get rid of the off shoring of maintenance, as it is very risky and bring it back to Australia.
We all know the communication problems we face when having problems with our internet or telephone service, we just get transfered to someone overseas now that can never seem to understand Australian language nor are they on the same page.
So how can they safely preform maintenance to an Australian standard.

maintenance requirements

I'm confused - are there different maintenance requirements as a function of the number of aisles in an aircraft?

So, they can be flown by 200 hr cadets but require special maintenance "experience", is that right???

Experience no longer recognized within the qf group unless it is in the media, only bare qualifications. Remember the engineering apprenticeships that qf was offering not long ago or engineering cadets of whatever you want to call them. ;-)

Being ADL without scheduled JQ A330 ops has J*/JHAS sent engos to fix what would more than likely on this a/c-eng type with described defect be an EEC related issue or has QF engineering been dragged into fixing the defect?

I know (think) QF look after JQ's 320 a/c in ADL but does this extend to adhoc 330 work??

Just curious.

As I mentioned in my post earlier, all A330 engineering support transferred QF to J* for the A330. That included the Aircraft on Ground Recovery Team. Additionally other work previously done by QF engineers, such as boroscope inspections.

Recall the J* A330 that was stuck in Phuket with a brakes & steering fault some time ago. It was the QF AOG Recovery team that was dispatched to fix the problem.

I haven't heard what has happened with the ADL case, but if the call comes from up high to fix a group aircraft, i'd expect a return to the previous arrangement.

Qantas Engineers fixed the A330 in ADL. So much for engineering independence.

Just like QF doing adhoc A checks on J* A330's (for $80K a piece on paper)

I would have thought after an engine failure, there would have been at least an ATSB interim investigation.

Engine failure, or "we don't like this what this engine is doing, let's shut it down in case it fails"?
