And I was getting all excited for my LH 400 flight on the A380.... seriously though does anyone have further insight on this? Don't really know what to make of "minor cracks on non-critical wing rib-skin attachments" but I must admit I'd be disappointed if the fleet were pulled.
This is probably just Qantas' engineers/mechanics union trying to take a dig at QF management for having outsourced maintenance work. The union & airline have been at each others' throats for a good long while. I wouldn't worry.
