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"

It is always shameful to see unions use a topic as important as safety and disinform and fear the population for the sake of their own battles against employers. They should play more honestly.

Just the media. SIA EC is completely safe.

The Australian media is known to be fear-mongering (as all media is) but especially, anti-foreign.

what part of SASCO is safe,the profit or the management positions,you cannot maintain aircraft safely as a third party maintenance org as well as air operator FALL STOP.you are driven by profit and an operator (IT'S MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT)is driven by safety.

Precisely what I had in mind. We don't see many Asian airliners crashing these days, do we?

The way I see it, its just an attempt by Today Tonight to gain popularity.
