Hey Adam, this is a good and important discussion to have. If QF is not paying enough attention to safety then this need to be brought up. But claims should be substantiated with facts, references etc so we all can form an opinion.

Outsourcing maintenance to Asia for example is not a bad thing in itself. Lufthansa Technik for example is doing some heavy maintenance for the A330s in the Philippines. I personally have as much faith in a LH technician than I have in a QF engineer in Melbourne.

And so far we have no idea what actually caused the incident.
