PERTH/ATHENS $369
QF did go through a bit of a bad patch and it was a combination of luck, and skill from the flight crews that ensured safe outcomes.
Flying RR engined B744s around with a known engine problem which could result in an un contained turbine failure wasn't a particularly sensible thing to do. Had the RR engine shop not been closed down, rectification work could have been quickly performed in house. Unfortunately QF had to join the queue as everyone else with the same engines needed the same work doing at the same time.
