Qantas A380 maintenance is done in Germany! The union's here in Australia are trying to get Qantas to bring all maintenance back "home" saying that Qantas Is trading on a safety reputation it no longer deserves. There has been a couple of major engine failures in the past six months. The pilot training has been good enough that it all works out, but there is a limit.
