A 'journalistic' piece on Qantas' outsourcing maintenance practices which implies that outsourced work done by SIA Engineering Company and Lufthansa Technik is substandard.

In an article in 'The Australian' newspaper, SIAEC has said that a "thorough review of its maintenance records showed it had carried out no such repairs in the aircraft locations identified by Qantas."

William Tan, CEO of SIAEC told The Australian, "These allegations are not new. We've gone through them before, except for the staples, and every single allegation has been proven false not by us but by (the Civil Aviation Safety Authority)."

Mr. Tan also added: "The staples were found 10 months after the aircraft left the facility"

Steve Purvinas, federal secretary of the Australian Licensed Aircraft Engineers Association told The Australian, "The Singapore engineers are trained to pretty much the exact same level as the Australian guys and they are just as good as we are" (more)

Those pictures could have just been forged! Would qantas actually release those photos? I highly doubt it. Would a qantas engineer release it? they probably wouldn't because they would most likely lose their job.

I think I've made my point

This video is stupid like most of today tonights stories. Airlines like Qantas, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, etc have all got very good safety records and the public have complete confidence in their safety.

Airline crashs are rare, high quality stories from today tonight are even rarer!

im from the philippines but come on.. a LAME signing 52 hours of work for a shift? thats just stretching it too much.. I do think work in Singapore is over rated. Ill be honest. here in the Philippines they even hire guys to go to Singapore with less than 2 years experience. Before, the minimum was 5 years. but since they cant get any more guys they lower it to a year.bringing down wages and also the quality of work.Aside from that a lot of engineers there think they are really good! god help us

Why the hell was it discovered so long b4 it was disclosed. It could very well be their own guys doing it. I can understand the passion this aussie mechs have for their and can understand they are pissed. But to spread shit abt SIAEC, thats bloody faggoty !
