Qantas outsources their maintaince. What a surprise.

"engineers yesterday warned that "danger signs" were now emerging from Qantas's decision to outsource maintenance"

"since Qantas sent engineering and safety checks to countries such as Singapore, the national carrier's once near-perfect safety record had suffered."

"the damaged Qantas A380 recently underwent its first heavy maintenance stop in Germany with Lufthansa Technik"

"heavy maintenance check - a root- and-branch investigation in which the aircraft is pulled to pieces and reassembled over a period of weeks - would be the first focus of investigators."
"He said the incident highlighted concerns about the airline's maintenance."

As long as it is cheap that is all these companies care about. If peoples lives are in danger that is perfectly fine. As long it saves some money up front. Rolling the dice with peoples lives is not a problem for corporations in 2010. Roll em.....
