If it ain’t Boeing, yadda yadda...

I fly Southwest anyway so it’s not an issue for me.

Grounding a bunch of A380s will lead to a lot of less-than-satisfied customers..

Has Qantas ever had crash? I don’t think it has.

In another seat, Tyler Wooster watched as part of the skin of the wing peeled off, exposing foam and broken wires...

But "it's not like the aircraft is going to drop out of the sky,"

Yeah, right. Unless under the broken wing skin were wires controlling the ailerons, in which case it could have been another Iowa UA Flight 232 cornfield crash.

Apparently, Qantas has recently moved their maintenance off shore (outside Australia). The A&P mechanics in Australia are blaming shoddy off-shore work as the problem with the engine.
