Didja see where I was raving over the Airbus A380, and then they go and have one of their Rolls Royce engines eat itself alive. Qantus has grounded their entire fleet of 380's. They have outsourced their maintenance to Malaysia, Singapore, and Germany. Since doing so, their safety record has fallen greatly. But the bosses say that has nothing to do with maintenance problems. Sounds early familiar.

No worries, mate! But, it has caused huge problems within their network. Those monsters can carry 440 passengers and make 747's look kinda small!
